Where's the best place to find.......
 

...... cheap laptops??

The Girlf and I are looking to buy ourselves a nice Christmas Pressie in the shape of a laptop.

What sort of stuff should we be looking for?? We want it to be fairly quick and have a fairly big memory (preferrably 1024).

I think we've got a budget of about £450.

Can any of you help?

Cheers!

Chris :)

Im currently on the look out for one too chris, Saw a good one at comet i think. 1.6ghz CPU, 80GB hdd and 1gb of RAM perfect for wireless internet around the house. Thikn that was about £400 - they have a lower spec which is £350 with 40gb hdd and 512mb of ram too

dabs.com is good

We,ve seen a Packard Bell in Currys Digital for £399 and that has 1gb RAM, 60gb HD, 1.6ghz, good for wireless. Might have to go for a trip to Comet on the weekend then!!

Dell are quite good, not sure if they sorted the problem out with the batteries that just burst into flames, but aslong as you've got a cupa tea near to put it out you should be fine :-)

£399 sounds a good price all jokin aside

Just had a quick look and the cheapest 1gb RAM laptop they do is £460.

Thanks anyway!

Dell battery recall was a bitch with over 300 users having them.



Chris - sounds the same one im on about. Yeh it is nice, my Gran gave us the penny for one but just wanted to get it closer to xmas as it is a present lol

Heard bad things about their Customer Services..... like that fact that it's in India apparently!

Hhhhhm. One of my mates just bought a new laptop, he got a really good price for a really good spec machine. I'll try and get a link for you both.

Fricken awesome place to buy from! :Y:

dell have a tv offer on at the moment 19 inc screen dvd rw cant remember rest £399 all in

Dell's prices are very good... I had a flick through one of their brochures today. But what's top of the range now will not be top of the range in weeks to come. It changes sooo quickly.

If I was to get another desktop or a laptop, then I'd be looking at getting a Dell.

i will be looking to get a new laptop soon.

dell are good because their laptops can be upgraded easily where as others cant. there are a couple of others that i know of that can be but i have forgoten which.

Aparently woolworths were selling some hp laptops half price this week, supposed to be very good too. They were reduced from £800 to £400.

Hmmmm.... Think I'll have a look on the Woolworths website if they have one then!
