Hi
Can someone please advise me where I can find the cheapeast laptop with the following spec:
Prerequists:
memory 1024 RAM
at least hard drive 60GB
at least Processor 1.6-1.8 GHz
Wireless
DVD/CD RW
Duo memory if possible as well
Budget £500. I've seen some good deals on Dell but Ive heard mixed reviews so Im unsure.
I will be using the laptop for Web design-Dreamweaver/Photoshop/MS Office/going online/burning DVDs.
Can I also ask is it worth getting a TV card? Do you get a good picture?
Cheers

You can buy a £3000 Digital ready widescreen top-of-the-range TV, but if you try and run it off a wire coathanger for an aerial, you're going to get a cr*p picture.
Same with TV cards. Will depend on your aerial. Good aerial = good picture.0 -
AS for the tv card: unless your always at your pc using it as a replacement is a waste of time..
They are usually of slightly lower quality than a decent tv however they do have convient features such as pausing live tv etc..0 -
