    Thanks, im torn then, im edging towards the fujitsu purely for the better processor, and the fact that im in a dispute with eBuyer over a refund for my faulty HP 6735s.

    If you were to buy one today, which would you choose? (last question i promise :))
  • SAMSUNG SERIES 3 NP355V5C....£429.99

    AMD A8-4500M processor
    Genuine Windows® 8
    Memory: 6 GB
    Hard drive: 1 TB
    Graphics: AMD Radeon™ HD 7640G

    I have looked at reviews and the only negatives are it's a bit on the heavier side and the screen resolution isn't as good as it could be. Could I have some of you knowledgeable peeps thoughts on this one please.

    The salesman also said I would definitely need the recovery disc pack for each laptop at the ridiculous price of £69.99 per laptop, that price included set up for me at the store.!!!! I said, very confidently,I'm sure I would be able to do that myself........will I be able to do it myself??? Lol.

    Thankyou.

    You should be able to create recovery disc yourself. Just get blank DVD ready when you first start the machine.

    Regarding the resolution and weight.1366 x 768 is standard through out the industry for budget machine.
    While regarding the weight, 2.5kg is pretty much standard for 15.6" machine. If you want lighter, go for ultrabook.

    By the way, where are you going to get the machine?
    750GB version only cost you £380!!!

  • Thankyou Cisco, it was in Currys but I notice John Lewis have it for the same price. Thanks for the link to the cheaper one, I will go for that one if I decide on this samsung. I have looked at so many and still can't decide but I need to get it sorted soon.
