ok so you take a bit of a hit on the processor(intel is preferable to amd even though the amd is clocked slightly higher) but you get improvements everywhere else for not a lot more, the second option just has a 90gb larger hard drive to the first, worth an extra tenner imho.

on an unrelated note, my <£400 decent laptop is this

Thank you, as you say those are even better value. There is a premium to pay if you want an Intel processor. I use my laptop mainly for surfing and for intraday trading stocks using live charting software so I'm not sure whether I would notice the difference.

Laptops Direct appear to be the cheapest place, I would never have found them as they don't appear on the shopbot searches so thanks again. Will probably go with one of these. Do they have a line out for connecting speakers?

This one also looks a bargain at £399 inc VAT, includes bluetooth compatibility and comes with 4GB of RAM http://www.ebuyer.com/product/164845/show_product_video/playvid#

Decisions, decisions... hmmm.

A friend had used their TV branch and found them awful

This article needs updating. I'm not sure about the others but the HP laptop at the bottom is no longer stocked by ebuyer.

hi all,

im gonna be looking to get my missus a laptop for xmas as she is going back to uni to do her masters for two years in february. she will need a laptop that can handle multimedia, as well as web surfing, spreadsheets, office stuff etc with a good bit of ram and hard disk space. hopefully MSE will update the deals in time for xmas but does anyone know how late i could leave it in order to get one for xmas wthout getting penalised on price, as im sure most companies will jack up the price?

Ideally i would like to get it a month or so before she starts to ge tthe best deal but she would like summut to open on xmas day. also, its got to be sub £500 as im gonna be skint for two years what with paying her half of the mortgage and bills etc!

if anyone knows of a good one then please dont be shy too. im always on the lookout for a bargain!

cheers everyone

Adrian
