...top.

That's right, I'm going halves with my girlfriend on a new laptop for our 4 year anniversary - like an electronic baby, with a screen for a face. I've browsed various websites (SR included) and I've whittled it down to a few selections:

Toshiba Sat Pro 2.2 GHz, 30Gb Hard Drive, 256 RAM + 256 RAM upgrade - all for just under £800.

Medion 2.66 GHz, 40GB Hard Drive, 512 RAM, NVidia Graphics Card - £999

They're the best 2 I've found. I don't necessarily want to pay as much as the second choice, as the only significant difference is the graphics card, but it's from a shop as oppossed to ordering online. Hmmm. Thoughts?

They should Clone Mr-T, Fonzie and Gary Coleman and form a crime fighting team very simliar to that of Batman and Robin.

Yes, laptops are stupid.
The domain of yuppies, people who have them for work and people too feeble to lift a PC tower onto the desk.

And possibly gay.

Yeah, get a tablet instead.

My desktop PC is a Medion and they supply very high spec machines at a low cost. Mine's been fine since I got it about a year and a half ago, so in terms of going with what you know, I'd veer towards that brand. That said, I never really know what use laptops are. If your laptop is intended for use in the Uni library, for example, then why do you need such a high spec? Any old laptop that runs Word will suffice. A high spec laptop is something that very few people will ever get any benefit from, in my humble opinion.

It's going to have a lot of high-spec software on it.

What's it for though?
I've never understood the point of them outside of salesmen using them for presentations to customers etc.

Use at home? Just get a kickass PC for a couple hundred more. Laptops suck to write on.
Is it to use on the bus to play solitaire?

It's so I can beat my high score on Minesweeper. But quicker.

Buy a tablet then. Power saving, and you can write on them in lectures...

Just spend less money and get a portable dvd player instead.
OK, so you can't write or play games with one, but you can still view plenty of porn on the go, and that's the best feature anyway.
