I am looking for a new laptop to replace my old lenovo...have tracked down 2 that I'm really happy with so far.
The first is the lenovo z560
http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/-/3226/2493/-/16709612/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Z560-Intel-Core-i5-2-4GHz-4GB-640GB-DVD-SM-15-6-inch-Windows-7-Home-Premium-Laptop-Notebook/Product.html?searchtype=genre#
- this is my ideal laptop, but is rather expensive for my student budget:
the other is the msi CR620-669UK
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MSI-CR620-669UK-Laptop-Core-i5-460M-2-53GHz-2GB-RAM-/300507521053?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item45f7a4e01d
not being a tech person, I am wondering what justifies the huge difference in price? I realise the MSI has a smaller ram capability, but is this essential?
I'm basically after a good, multi-purpose laptop that can handle being used for work (I'm doing a masters, so usually have a lot of browsers open at once as I look at online journals), plus be okay for watching DVD's and playing the od game, e.g. sims 3.
Any other suggestions would be greatly welcomed. Cheers guys
