nightslicer Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) hey guys, im looking to buy a new laptop for my sister but im not certain that what i've been looking at, was priced reasonably for what was offered. i was hoping someone could suggest a laptop that is; durable, has a long battery life, and is just overall a good laptop to do work from and browse the web (watching movies too). I am on a budget of £300. any help is appreciated, thanks. Edited January 3, 2013 by nightslicer Quote

KenB Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Hi Take a look here click here click here Be aware - some are "Refurbished" Make a note of the screen size. 15.6 inch is a standard laptop. You may want to think twice about Windows 8. It is totally different from Vista and Win7 and you may find it difficult to find your way around.

nightslicer Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 i dont really like the layout of windows 8 but its for my sister to decide, 1 thing i am worried about though is; if i do get windows 8, will it be compatible with everything? Quote
KenB Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 will it be compatible with everything? Not sure what you mean? It will run all the usual software - Skype - Windows Media Player - etc Flash Drives / external hard drives Webcam etc The layout is, however, totally different from Win7 Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!

nightslicer Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 thats what i meant - software ;) okay thank you, i shall consider it Quote
KenB Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Let us know what you decide. Do a bit of research on Win 8 before you finally decide. Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !! MiniToolBoxNetwork TestWireless Test
nightslicer Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 im going for windows 7. what is your opinion on Dell laptops? more specifically the Dell Inspiron N5040 Quote
Vr5fx Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Uses the same setup as the M5030, where idling you could put a slice of cheese between some bread, close the lid and 5 minutes later have an awesome toastie. Lemme dig..................
