Would you buy this laptop?

Hi All,

I'm not a very tachie person so advice on buying a new laptop as the one i have is a nightmare. I've pasted a link below, could you have a look if you get chance and let me know what you think of this?

I only need ot for a big of Microsoft Office use, Word, outlook etc, but not too much. Internet surfing, MSE of course, and ITunes. I do have a good external hard drive so could store Itunes on that if needed, but just want a laptop which can handle having more that 1 site open at a time, and one which doesn't run 60+ processes when I start up so it runs so slow it's painful.

Advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Wuzz.

  • Hey,

    You can get the same model cheaper here and it is quite a good laptop - http://www.europc.co.uk/product.php?productid=137697

    I think I might even know a friend who works there so drop me a PM if you want me to see if I can sort you out buddy.

    the europc one is a refurb, just be aware of that. Still 12 month RTB warranty, though.

    I tend to avoid Laptops with shared video memory like the plague. However, both these look like they are capable of surfing the net & watching DVD's.
