New Laptop - which one?

Pthree

So following up from my last thread about laptop left on train, it hasn't shown up, and I really need to get a new one ASAP.

My last one was a Samsung and I loved it (even though I only had it two months before I lost it!) and it seemed to do everything I wanted it to, expect the speakers were rather naff. I am guessing most laptop speakers aren't great but are some better than others??

So apart from listening to music, internet (no gaming or anything just the usual youtube, facebook a bit of shopping), working from home now and again (so mainly using Office) my needs are fairly basic apart from I do a lot of photography so I'd like lots of storage space (of course I back up often, but I like to be able to find things easily) and be able to use Photoshop or other editing suites quickly and easily, this is where I noticed a big difference between my lost laptop and my old one.

I have up to £400 (perhaps £450 at a push).

Any ideas?

Thank in advance

Another Samsung? Find the closest match to the one you lost.

I did think about replacing it with the same model but I was hoping I could get something with better speakers as this was its only let down.

A trip to John Lewis would allow you to play and see for yourself before buying. Don't forget JL provide a 2 year guarantee with all laptops (if you can hang on to it that long! )

Ha!! I'll have you know it's the first laptop I ever lost!! Mainly because its the first one I had that was light enough to carry around with me but that is soooo not the point!!

Any excuse for a trip to JL's

Just remember you're going in to look at laptops, not kitchenware, furniture, clothes, lingerie, shoes......

... or is that just my OH? :mad:

Er... no it's just not your OH but if I come back with a Magimix and £100 wrinkle cream I will be looking for someone to blame!

Blame me, it's usually my fault!
