Topic: Recommend a laptop.

[Crumpy Gunt]

Reet, sick of having to chat to wor lass every night (nearly a week with no lappy now) so someone recommend me  laptop in the £400 region. (less rather than more if possible)

17"
DVD Writer

Just browsing the net really.

[Toon's Taylor]

Probably a no goer but if its just for browsing the net, what about an ipad?

Even if you don't take to it they are so hot right now it will cost you £50 or so to find out if its for you.



If you must have a Laptop then i'd go acerdirect. (at this budget)

You'd be hard pressed to find a 17 inch laptop for less than £400. The eMachine in the above link comes in at £330ish but not the greatest of makes.

Ive got a compaq nc6000 for sale, built in dvd rom / cd writer, 1.8 ghz 512 ram, loaded with windows 7 for 120 notes. No built in wifi but comes with a belkin wireless g usb, in mint condition aswell. Perfect for the net.

Bought this one. Bit more than planned but happy with it.

Quick Question; it has an HDMI port. Does that mean i can connect to my TV via HDMI cable or is for recieving an HD signal?

If its pissing about on the net and music you want an ipad certainly is an option.

If not Acer direct.

I have found some supidly cheap netbooks but I think they will be turboshit, I just don't really know enough about them

[Gash?]

They are s****, my mum has one and i hate it. Too small, don't get a decent view of web pages at all. Despise them, keep trying convince her get rid and get an iPad.

[Cajun]

Good enough reason for me not to buy one

[Dave]

Eh? They're fine for what they're designed for.

yuk, celeron dual core = s***!  rather pay a little extra for a good dual core

[Dave]

It's a netbook. That processor is a ULV, and good for 720p HD with ease.

Enough to be running Office on too?

[Dave]

Asking the question the other way round, what would it not be any good for?

[Dave]

Gaming.
