Title: Sadie wants a laptop
Post by: RED-DOG on January 13, 2011, 04:48:54 PM
Nothing fancy. Basically for surfing & downloading music.

Anyone seen any good deals? (I'm a Dell fan btw)

Do you have a budget in mind?

Yes. As much, but no more than necessary to get something that will do the job without going to the hassle of buying something second-hand unless it's from someone I know.

This looks suitable:

(think delivery is about £15 on top of the price)

I have one of those - it's been faultless since Day One. Runs really smooth, opens up as fast as anything, can't fault it.

I had an ACER. It was fine for about 6 months, until the fan started making a horrible noise.

It took 6 weeks (!) for the repair to be completed and when it came back it was considerably slower.

I may just have got a bum deal, but it has put me off ACER's for life.

I use one every day for work, got a very similar one for the girlfriend and she uses it every day for work too.  Then I got a small one for £300 (that's now £600 for some reason) and that's excellent too.

Had a Dell at my last place, and the screen went.  Good luck getting any sort of service from Dell's support.

I guess it's a case of YMMV - and any make we'll know someone who can anecdotally sing the praises or condemn a particular brand.

£350? Come on James, you're talking to me now you know.

I must be going soft, but I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll give you £100 to get a tenner back, and second pick out of the belly of my best bitch the next time she whelps.

Can't say fairer than that can I?

What do you have to do to see the prices?

Press the choose laptop button, then select home laptops, then choose which one you want to look at or in teh little drop down box on the right, select lappys, then what you want to have from the selections that will appear

Blatant "I have a GF" brag IMO
