New Laptop!!!!!!

Options
Hi Folks

I'm after a new Laptop and would like to rack the community brains for the best deal?

Most Bells & Whistles for the best money (Cheapish) with min 1GBram and Min100Gb hard drive etc.

£500-600 UK price.

Any help appreciated.

    Acer 5633, 120 gig hd, 1 gig mem, NVidia GeForce Go7300 graphics, wifi, lan, 4xUSB...

    I'll be ordering one in the morning.
  • Yes, I said this in another post earlier - but keep your eye on supermarkets like Tesco for deals on Acer laptops.

    Also, for sub-600, you can definately get a Core 2 Duo E6300 processor with at least 1Gb of memory in your laptop. Don't aim lower than a Core2Duo chip tho (i.e. Avoid Celeron) as the performance hit will be noticable.

    Acer definately do a bunch of budget laptops - but BEWARE.... their support sucks really badly. If your laptop goes wrong 1 second over the 14 day mark - you're looking at around 14 day turnaround to repair it, and a whole bunch of lies along the way. (it does get repaired however!)

    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
  • Have a look at this other similar thread. Plenty of suggestions there.
