Compare these laptops

Hello all,

Im looking at the following 2 laptops and was after some advice. I will be using the laptop mainly at home and mainly for surfing internet, the odd powerpoint presentation, storing music/pictures and the odd game. I want to get wireless conectivity and my current provider is telewest blueyonder. will both these machines do what I want? and which one is best for the money.Idealy i dont want to spend anymore than 600.

Im not in a mad rush to get it so 3 weeks wait is not a problem

there dosnt seem to be any good laptop deals on at Dell at the moment or I may have gone there.

Any thoughts???


Many thanks

  • well the pc next day laptop is better spec'd as it has the graphics but if your not doing any games the sony will have a much better screen(go to a sony shop to have a look!)
  • they're both similar priced so id agree with pierceuk about choosing the zoostorm purely based on specs...but i dont know anything about them and what their reliability is like so don't quote me on it! :)

  • I thought the spec looked better on the zoostorm but had never heard of them.

    Im guessing that both will be ok for Wireless connection as well.

    I think I may go for the zoostorm on thursday and wait and see if there are any better dell offers thurday before plcing my order
  • I'd personally go for the Sony but that is purely because its a....Sony Vaio! Thats just me, maybe I'm a sucker for names. lol

    I love my Sony Vaios and the online team (once you register your laptop for the 1 year guarantee) are quite helpful.

    Saying that I have quite a few tech minded friends who probably aren't as Sony crazy like me and would probs opt for the Zoomstorm due to the specs so I'd say its worth a punt.

    Got nothing to lose and you have your guarantee and money back returns thingy...so the ball is in your court.

    Enjoy :)
