Which Laptop?

[medwaygreen]

Hi Andrew,

French keyboard is not the English/USA Querty keyboard it is an exertiop i think that right,so on a laptop it would be useless.

I purchased from Comet online in feb two Acer 3003WLMI 60gb HD 512MB Ram wide screen only paid £479.00 each and they have been great.One developed a battery problem phoned Comet new battery in 5 days the service has been outstanding.

I would recommend to anyone.

Regards.

Tesco have 3 Acers , the 'mid' one is £450 ish and damm good value for money! (1 gb ram, good HDD, decent processor and excellent wide screen)I got one for my daughter a few weeks ago,.

Dell are good IF they are doing double this and double that and free delivery - if not they are bad value and very expensive to upgrade to the spec you want. have just had to upgrade bro's few month old one with 1GB for a £100 and the screen is pants compared to the Acer.

Thanks Tog.

 

Always been cheesed off with Dell's "menu" purchase system. OK if the base package is right for you, but add a bit of memory here, a bit of that there and the price skyrockets.

 

However, notwithstanding the above, the two Dell PC's I have owned ( the last and the present one ) have been / are excellent ( touch wood ).

got to stop you there m8

 

Click here and go to the laptops section

 

id buy one if i could afford it that is

 

try replacing the graphics card in 6 months time when that high spec machine is running on basic graphics settings when the next game comes out

if a games pc needs a huge fan to keep the cpu cold enough to run (watercooling in some) then a laptop with a tiny fan (or none at all) couldnt possible run anywhere near the pc's speed.

take into consideration memory coolers ,chipset coolers and hard drive fans that laptop would need to be the size of a full tower to exist ,laptops by their very design could never compete with a pc even if the pc was lower spec as the cpu and graphics cards in the laptop would have to be throttled back to stop them melting unless laptops used a different physics laws to everyone else.

It's often worth having a sniff round the Dell factory outlet. It's updated daily, and you can sometimes get some real bargains. Lots of rubbish, of course, and lots of weird specifications so you have to look carefully, but sometimes some great buys.
