Sainsbury's Laptop

Hi all,

The mother-in-law needs a new laptop and has seen this in Sainsburys. Is anyone able to tell me if its value for money or if not point me in the direction of one for a similar price but better? I'm not to clever on the spec side of computing lol.

Toshiba Satellite C660D-1CV AMD E300 Processor 3GB/500GB 15.6" Black Laptop £299.99

I'd say its as good as anything your going to get for that price. Dont expect to be playing the latest games on it but its not a bad spec for the price. Any modern laptop will be plenty good enough for modern computing and its got a nice LED screen and a big hard disk so unless you want anything particularly specific i'd go for it

The E300 is pretty much AMD's entry-level dual core.

It should be fine for basic use, but don't be fooled by their special "down from £450" offer - £300 is about the right price for the spec.

ooh that's my laptop

Careful though - the disk drive blew on mine after about 11 months and melted the side casing of the screen :eek: It still works fine though, mine came from Currys and having worked for the Tech Guys I wasnt letting it anywhere near them!!! Its nearly 2 years old now and it still works ok apart from the disk drive. It has the odd hissy fit but its basically fine - nice and easy to operate.
