sorry guys i know you get asked this loads of times but please bear with me because i have no clue with the technical stuff

laptop from pc world

im not going to be playing games on it other than the odd internet site game and i mainly will use it to get on interent and view videos and put pictures up (general internet stuff)

so heres the usual question will this laptop do the job and how well??

thanks goes appreiciate it

to be honest if your just using it for general internet stuff you can get away with just buying a bog standard one for around 300 notes

wooooo thats plenty enuff for doing that stuff and it's bit expensive if you ask me. go on www.student-laptops.co.uk or www.val-u-computers.co.uk.

they are much cheaper

yea, i would say pay around the £400 mark like i did and my laptop works fine. can do all the random internet stuff and still run most games out and install software. if it starts goin slow then just delete what u dnt use or buy some more RAM

ok so im back great tip on this site loving it
camo laptop

what about this one yes ive fallen for the camo and the price but my main worry is will this easily achieve what i want ?

cheese- · 6th June 2007, 15:55

specs are too old to be honest, get something that is new but cheap

Lee_P · 6th June 2007, 15:58

ok so what am i looking for regards specs jus it will be easier rather than me keep posting laptops that have caught mt eye lol thanks by the way

Saxo-Will · 6th June 2007, 15:59

yea same m8. the HDD is far to small to be honest, i wud recommend something with about 60GB HDD and 512mb of RAM. that shud be fine for what you'll be doing.

cheese- · 6th June 2007, 16:00

a 1.5GHz processor would do, 512MB ram or possibly a gig dependant on price, a 60GB hard drive. thats about all you will need really
