Another 'which is the best laptop' thread

jaymiwire1

Hi

I'm looking to buy a laptop for Christmas in the £350 to £400 price bracket. Ideally it would have 8GB ram and 1TB hard drive.

The best thing I've is probably the Toshiba C50D-A-13G 15.6" Laptop on PC World (Sorry, I can't post the link). It's £379.

Just wondering if anyone knows of any better deals/anything wrong with this one. In particular, if the battery life could be bettered that would be good!

Any thoughts welcome

Thanks!

The Toshibas are reasonably decent. A bit cheap-feeling, but they work alright.


What is it that you are doing that requires 8GB RAM and 1TB hard drive?

You can pick up good deals at Dell if you search for voucher codes and can wait a little for deals (they come and go) (recently saw Inspiron 15, 4GB RAM, 3rd gen I3, and 500GB HDD for less than £300). Obviously if you need the higher RAM and HDD then it would be more, but worth a look.

Thanks. Don't necessarily need that spec but replacing a laptop that's about 10 years old and am trying to future-proof the next one!

If you can spend extra £10

You can always add RAM yourself later, buy you can't change faster CPU/ graphic card
