Laptop spec advice

Good find. Matches the OPs budget of £500-£600.
Good combination of SSD and HDD (provided Windows 10 is setup to put documents/pics on the HDD). The make isn't great but partly offset by 2 year warranty (assuming claim handling works.)0 -

My desktop is ok but runs really slow. Can't do dual display (2 monitors) and of course I can only use it in one place in the house and can't take it outside.
2) for you desktop to support more than one display plug either a second card in it, buy a card that supports two monitors, or buy USB external monitor adapter. The same usb adapter will probably work in laptops too.
3) so you are going to buy a laptop for portability, and also take a second screen with you plus a very long power cable?0 -

I'm not sure if the spec mentioned the CPU?
I would be looking for a machine which supported true 1080p resolution.0 -
I agree - I have had Medion desktops for years - they are well made and well priced - this one is priced about £300 / £400 less than it's equivalent big brand !grumpycrab wrote: »Good find. Matches the OPs budget of £500-£600.

Hi, thanks for all the responses. The Medion does look good I'll look into it more. Also looking for a big bag to carry my monitor around...0
