What laptop should I buy?

C_Mababejive

Bear this in mind...most branded laptops are produced from generic chassis all made in the same far eastern factory and simply customised/badged up for the end brand i.e Tosh/Acer etc etc. They dont all have their own factories.

I have had a tosh lappy for nearly four years and its still working fine. It cost about £350 when i bought it and wasnt high end then.

It needs some minor repairs now which i will do myself as ive bought the bits.

As a standby i bought a Dell optiplex GX620 desktop base from ebay for £26 and it works just great and again,does all i need.

The moral of the tale...dont believe the hype. For ordinary everyday computing you dont need to spend a fortune.

Lenovo Laptops are top grade devices that you can get for less than £300, like any Lenovo G580 from Save On Laptops or similar Z580s from Laptops Direct

Big thanks to Ianh82 and MandyAW92
Ian I like the Asus it looks to be fine for me, but the Lenovo is Window 8 which I have been told is not as good as Window 7
Mandy I looked at Save On Laptops and they have Lenovo,s with W 7 and they are quite appealing.
Thanks again
