SirHartlar Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegelstad Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 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!

Sbrideau Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 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.

Laura Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 All boils down to their customer support, really. Would not want to be without a laptop at uni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasignhagj Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
