Recommend me a laptop ......

Viz_2

Can any of you recommend me a laptop spec and brand please....

I will use at home for general browsing / email and Photoshop use.

I want a 14 or 15" screen.

I want Vista with at least 2gb RAM and a dedicated graphics card.

It has to have bluetooth built in.

Has to have a TV out socket (not sure which is best, will plug into my Toshiba 37z3030d).

And obviously I want it to be a good deal :beer: .

Also, are there any brands to avoid ?

Cheers

Have a look at the Dell Vostro 1500 range - https://www.dell.com/uk

or a more direct link - http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/category.aspx/vostro_nb?c=uk&cs=ukbsdt1&l=en&s=bsd

How much do you want to spend?

My wife has a Vostro 1700. It only comes with Vista Business.
I was lucky enough to get a 2.2 C2D, 256 graphics card, true life screen and wireless N for £700 delivered !

I wanted to avoid Dell this time as my Dell PC has just burned out a 4th internal Hard drive.

Spend hopefully around £500 - More if I have to.

Doubt you will get your spec for £500, I think you would need to spend another £250-£500 on top for all the spec.

Consider dropping the need of inbuilt bluetooth, you can get tiny external modules now.
