Sexton Hardcastle Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Maybe avoid Vista? Decent memory and wireless go for. Altho most should have the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighusref Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I got this a month or so ago, really pleased with it tbh.

Ribble Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 have a sketch at tesco's website, usually pretty cheap for decent specs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighusref Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Thanks mate that looks like what im after. No probs. A few observations from someone that is not particularly techy. I don't play games on the pc, the only thing of real size is my itunes library. I keep that on an external hard drive (500GB, cost 70ish IIRC) leaving the laptop to concentrate on nothing other than running itself. The result is that it loads up really quickly and seems to be a pacy wee dude. If you want to push it further than I will, I would suspect that someone with REAL computer knowledge could tell you if it is good or not, however for use of the www. and a bit of Microsoft Works stuff, it is excellent. It is also a home laptop, so I really cannot comment on the battery life. It likes my wireless router, and despite my concerns, functions well without the cable. It is not a very quiet and low temperature laptop. It is black and shiny with a red hue, making it cooler than your average laptop. All in all, I like it.

Mac_fae_Gillie Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 if you requirements aren't too high then supermarket off the shelf ones are good value for money. but good idea is to just go to pcworld get a ?400 laptop and spend rest of cash on good router and security programs(ensure pc you buy doesn't already have them installed free). Use mine for alot of online gaming so got a top spec Sony VAIO great machine but cost ?899 3months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
