Title: value for money? Post by: Ironside on May 21, 2009, 05:06:59 AM i've put off buying a new laptop and pc for too long the laptops gone busto and the desktop isnt far away

Personally wouldnt be buying from Argos though, you would probably get a bit more value from Ebuyer.co.uk Title: Re: value for money? Post by: lazaroonie on May 21, 2009, 10:10:59 AM for 350 quid they arent bad - a bit plasticky but thats what you get these days for your money. spec wise it is pretty good, it will take 4gb ram so its upgradeable in the future.
the only thing about these machines is they are heavy, and big. they are almost pushing the boundries of being portable. but thats the price you pay for having a 17inch screen. Title: Re: value for money? Post by: Ironside on May 21, 2009, 06:21:45 PM thanks guys picked one up

Anyone tried any poker software on Windows 7 ? Title: Re: value for money? Post by: Ironside on May 22, 2009, 12:47:25 AM fml they have sold me a lappy without a copy of vista on cd
