Buying new Laptop...help please!

Hi

Am impossible question as it can be a personal preference, but can anyone give opinions on Laptops around E700 (450--500 sterling)? Or even a little more expensive.

I can get a Toshiba (sorry dont know model no.) 1.8 intel dual core (?), 2 gig ram, 15.4 screen, 120 gig hard disk for around E760 (prob around £500). What else would you recommend? Ive had HP and found them fine, though the last one had to be sent back for repair.

What about Sony Vaio; Advent; Acer; Fujitsu?

Or is there a good review site you could direct me to?

I'll be using it for regular stuff, very few games, maybe eventually a little home movie editing.

thanks

 

Acer, ASUS, HP, and Dell all make great laptops for decent prices. I own an old Gateway (which still has had no problems to this day) and a newer Acer, which I am very happy with. My friend has a brand new HP he got a few months ago and it is amazing, i believe it was ~$1600 USD so about 800 pounds. Keep in mind that was a mainly gaming laptop so you should be able to find one suited to your needs in your price range very easily. I would direct you to some places you could look to buy one but I'm totally ignorant as to where you guys across the pond buy your PC stuff

 

Thanks!

Im actually in Ireland but we do have a PC World. Though I'll probably be buying from an Irish company called "Click" where my nephew works. Doesnt mean I'll get a discount though....!
