Decent cheap laptop?

[Ecosse]

So do I buy it or not???

Go for it, if it was me though I'd be putting windows XP on it.

Your getting a good spec for the price.

Dougie.

my lappy that is 4 years old, with a busted screen and a temperamental dvd drive is more powerful than that!!

Really?

It would have cost a few grand then.

Actually i don't know how it compares to a dualcore processor, mine is a pentium4 2.8ghz.

The new processers in laptops are far more advanced than P4's... and dont have the tendency to overheat like the P4s did in laptops.

Mine for example is a 2Gz AMD Turion 64 x 2... which is pretty damn good.

What I find is people get confused between Dual Core ( PC processors) and Core Duo ( laptop processors)

More powerful in that it uses more electricity, likely. More powerful as in higher benchmarks / greater performacne, very unlikely.



That is a decent spec. It is much better than the usual £300-£450 deals. Beats a lot of £600+ laptops.

Only a 1280x800 resolution screen though. Some people may want larger, or may want to add an external monitor to it.
