March 28, 201115 yr Basically I want to buy a laptop/netbook for when I go to university in the autumn. I willl probably be taking my PC with me as well which I could use for anything heavy duty such as gaming, but for word processing and browsing the internet I'd like something portable that I can take to lectures and to work with outside my room etc. I'd be willing to spend up to around £400 on one, although any money I could save by not going over the top with specs would be good. I live in the UK btw.
March 28, 201115 yr Asus is hardcore, any Asus computer above 600-800£ should please your needs, and it will definitely last quite long since its a very good brand! My lame drops:6 Effigys1 D Med - 1 D Dagger1 Verac's Helmet - 1 Guthan's Platebody
March 28, 201115 yr Nyosuht, for Dell, older laptops like yours will run strong as Dell was a very good brand, but it was only until about 3 or 4 years ago, now out of the 7 new desktops (6 months old now) at work, 4 had to have parts replaced, including the motherboard on 2 of them.
March 28, 201115 yr All boils down to their customer support, really. Would not want to be without a laptop at uni.
March 28, 201115 yr Asus, MSI or Toshiba are the best Laptop brands as far as I know. Both of these only have 2GB of RAM, but that is easily upgradeable. http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=466569&CatId=3588http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=488246&Sku=170856 I'd go for the Toshiba though, as it has a nicer screen and a Core i3 instead of a Core 2 duo. That VAT sure is high though.
