Bargain Laptop Hunting

remyzz

Hi,

I'm sniffing around for a good laptop deal. And wandered if anyone can give me a heads up on certain deals.

Minimum requirements are:
17" screen
2Gb RAM
160GB HDD
Processor speed > 1.66GHz

I want it to be new and ideally want to pay no more than £360. Alternatively I will settle for a laptop with less RAM or HDD for £320 as I could buy more and have a friend install it.

So far front runners I have found are from europc (.co.uk). I can't directly link because I'm new to the forum so I will five you the web address after .co.uk and you can check them out if you wish.

/product.php?productid=139136 (£290)

/product.php?productid=139182 (£290)

I know it looks like I'm being picky but I know with clearances, prices for laptops are dead cheap. Thanks it advance ladies and gents!
Oh yea and happy new year.

17.3 inch screen will be tricky. Have you considered a refurbed e.g. from Argos?

HP G SERIES 17.3IN LAPTOP
HEWLETT PACKARD G SERIES 15.6IN LAPTOP V1 REFURB
SAMSUNG R530 15.6IN LAPTOP
TOSHIBA C650-15Z 15.6IN LAPTOP REFURB
ACER ASPIRE 5551A 15.6IN LAPTOP REFURB

Or new:

Toshiba Satellite C660-195 Laptop Dual Core 2.1GHz

Hey thanks, yea I checked Argos who also have a pretty good deal.

I was a little bit sceptical of refurb models. Are they just shop floor models so they'll be almost as good as unused. I was under the impression they may be once faulty laptops that were revamped and repaired.

Never heard of Europc. But I use Ebuyer all the time for my PC bits when I build my own PCs. Got a decent ACER from there just above your price range but it's good.
