Which would you suggest from those links mate?

Wot r u going to use it for?

Just for the family to use really, browsing the net and playing poker. Occasional dvd watching.

Specs are very similar on the base level..obv u want the 17" screen... watch the dell when you personalise it as the price seems to rocket and be very careful with their warranty...

U dont need specific graphic card option unless ur looking to play games..particulary ones
Toshiba a bit more expensive... but as you see from the price they have been discounted from they were a lot more than the dell.. theres a reason for this as the quality is superior...

I'm a great believer in you get what you pay for.... with Dell you do ( with the right deal) get good value for money ( bang for buck ).. with Toshiba u get the excellent quality and build with good manufacturers warranty...

me personally id always go Toshiba over dell even for that little bit more.

a spec of dual core ,2gbram, 250gb drive is plenty for standard use

Its a nice bit of kit..u may get the same sort of spec a bit cheaper but build and quality is where the extra money is..cant see u going to far wrong tbh.. but as with all things its just my own opinion..but as its what i do for a living it prob carries a little more weight..

I agree Mr Gatso.. we have supplied around 50 odd L300's in the last few months at that price level...and these are to corporate users..they loved em.. not one complaint and lots of praise

Santa brought a laptop for my daughter.

Santa's helper @ pcworld was a dell rep he advised me to go for a HP @ £449 DV6-2110sa
Dell could not compete with this machine for the price so he said. I asked if he was commission based,
He said no salary. That did make me feel better. These commission based sales people say anything just
to get a deal.



It took 45 minutes to set up with a new router and we are very happy the sound is great and the
picture very clear.

OK quick guide..

Do not buy..

Asus
Acer
Packard Bell

Watch the so called Dell deals  as they seem to add up to a lot more than advertised....

Best buys ..Toshiba,HP,Lenevo (IBM)

 Spec isn't everything...

Our best seller... Toshiba L series...quality around £400..

Samsung don't look to bad..top of the 2nd tier imo

have had 3 lappies 1x HP and 2x Acer

The HP was a pile of shite, never had a problem with the 2 Acers though!!

[Tractor]

Dell FTW.
