New laptop required.
« on: 03 August 2015, 11:56:55 »
Yet another one of these expensive items has impacted the wall. :-\

Requirements are as follows.

Fast processor.
15 inch screen.
Windows 8.1
Long battery life. Six hours or more.
Plenty of RAM.

Most importantly 'she' ( the crazed laptop hurler) needs  a powerful graphics card that is preferably not shared.

£400 maximum spend as most of them don't last long enough to be 'out of warranty'.

I'm not happy about this. :(

Based on experience of just about every laptop make Ive had, think these days I would go with some form of Samsung.

No comments about the infamous sister this time.

I merely mentioned that her friend looked 'very feminine' in her summer dress. It all escalated from there. :-\

Does Lady Opti have latin blood?  She sounds quite volatile to me!  :o

Still volatile women are usually very passionate as well!!  :y  Sounds like you need to direct all that passion to the right places!  ;D ;D ;D

How about a Dell Latitude 14 Extreme Opti, built especially for the more er........ heavy handed user?
Or a Panasonic Toughbook? supposedly very rugged!
Or the Amrell ROCKY RT (never heard of this one)  it doesn't tick all your boxes but should survive the odd marital disagreement? ;D :y

If it ain't broke keep fixing it 'til it is!

As it probably won't survive a year I'd suggest something along these lines.  :y   Then you have some extra cash to invest in anger management classes!  ::)  ;D

If the laptop ends up too substantial, next time she throws it, it will, instead,  demolish his conservato.... Oh., hang on. :-[

There will be nothing left of that MV6 money at this rate  :o

Anyway.... I have had a Toshiba Satellite P750 for a few years now.. It came with windows 7 when new so its got to be a few years. It's my 2nd Toshiba in 7 years give or take.

Some of the main features...

15.4in, 1366 x 768, 8GB DDR3 RAM, Blu-ray drive, 640gb HDD, Quad-core Core i7-2630QM, USB 3.0, Bluetooth 3.0, Nvidia GeForce graphics, Harman/Kardon speakers,

Granted it was in the £900 region i remember that much! But saying that it still works so its been a sound investment. Running Win10 fine also.

Basically what i'm saying is i'd recommend Toshiba  :)
