Any recommendations for best laptop £600-£700??

rezen

Hi there,

My friend is looking for something quite fancy around this price. What is the best spec you can find for this price that will go fine with an outlook for Vista as well?? He also wants a repair service with it as well so that can be important.

This is the best I've come up with so far. Can anyone find/recommend me something better?

Thanks for the help

Having looked around for a year, I've literally just bought this laptop from Comet - it seems a very good price for the specs and has a dazzlingly bright screen.

Toshiba A110-275 (Centrino Duo 1.83GHz, 1GB RAM)

I guess it just depends on how the AMD & Intel chips compare...

for the same price

(price ex vat but can get online or in staples stores)
with built in web camera and mini remote control.

althought you can also get a dual core centrino for £499 as well at staples....

For that price you should be thinking about getting a core duo laptop, I wouldn't bother with Pentium M anymore.

Some brands to consider: Dell, Acer, Asus, Rock, Zepto.

A little over budget but for that money you could just about get one of the new Intel Macbooks (£749 but maybe less via cashback sites) . That way you get the lovely MacOS to begin with and might even be on for Vista (although I've not read any confirmation / denial on that one).

Might be worth a thought...

I wouldn't get acer - seen loads of problems with them. Have a look at Asus - little bit more expensive but the build quality is excellent - they make sonys laptops for them

Slightly above budget but knock this Dell back to 1 year collect & return and you will find the spec hard to beat for £779 http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?b=&c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&oc=N08647
