Title: Laptop Choice
Post by: Tonka. on 24 January 2011, 18:36:08

I am in the market for another Laptop after my Vaio gave up big style  :(
It was replaced with a HP G72 which lasted three weeks  ;D

So what do I do.....

I have searched for a few and come up with the following;

At Dabs (http://www.dabs.com/products/toshiba-satellite-c660-10h---core-i3-370m-2-4-ghz---15-6--tft---ram-4gb---hdd---500-gb-w7-hp-64bit-79GD.html)

At Argos (http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5084801/c_1/1|category_root|Office%2C+PCs+and+phones|14418968/c_2/2|14418968|Laptops+and+netbooks|14419039.htm)

So, basically, there's an idea of the spec. Do you have any ideas or recommendations of where to buy or what to buy?  :y :y

I'd never buy a HP, i know the business and public ones are different, but our HP Elitebooks..... i never known such an unreliable heavy, poorly built piece of crap! Loads of hard drive failures, screens breaking ect.

I'd prob go Dell if i needed a cheap laptop, MacBook Pro if I did not have a budget  ::)
