Best cheap laptop

[Mark_Williams]

Hi All

Hope you can help.
Anyone know of a good place to buy cheap laptops. All I'm looking for is something to surf the web wirelessly, with a reasonably large screen.

I've tried Ebay, Ebuyer, Dell and Amazon, but nothing jumps out at me.

Any thoughts would be great.

Depends on your definition of cheap? Setup one of these for a friend the other week...

Nice HP laptop for <£300, and she's chuffed to bits with it

I've been searching for a laptop for a while as well and I haven't been able to find one that fits my tight criteria. You could try laptopsdirect . co . uk and see how you get on there. Good luck!

once you have found a laptop you like let me know the model and the best price you have found and we will look to beat that for you,

 

Hi,

Are you looking for a netbook or a full laptop? Also, what is the top end of your budget?

Thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon

I need a full laptop, ideally with a 17"+ screen

 

OK, and what sort of apps are you looking to run - anything resource intensive?

 

[Mark_Williams]

Nothing too major.
Probably all running at the same time would be:

skype
outlook
dreamweaver
fireworks - only simple graphics stuff though

 

I think one of the key rules for laptop purchases is to go for the highest spec you can possibly afford. For instance, a solid spec from Dell could cost about £500 - is this above your budget?

 

[Mark_Williams]

I could just strecth to £500.

Ok which operating system are you happy using ?
A business laptop with a 17 inch screen is quite rare nowadays,
You can walk into any currys or comet and pickup a 17 inch laptop with what looks like great spec for £500 but for business they are rubbish, i.e battery life , operating system ect
I would suggest opting for a 15.4 screen laptop and mabye a larger monitor for when your not on the move.

A very bold statement if I may say so,

 

[shabirgani786]

Always challenge myself, if I can get it for better price and belive I can I say so, if the price is given to me to quote against and I see that I an't I will admit it,

Have a look on Dabs at the Samsung's - some good ones on there at reasonable prices too.

Personally I would stay well clear of samsung laptops as they have quite a high hard drive failure rate,

I have been searching for a laptop for the past week... and it was an intense search through a hell of a lot of websites and laptops!

The cheapest sites I found by far were play.com and ebuyer.com, competition couldn't touch them with a barge pole.

After the intense search and scrutiny I decided to go for the Acer Aspire 6930g priced at £479.99 at play.com - http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/6735970/-/Product.html?searchstring=6930g&searchsource=0.

I haven't played around with it but it has had very good reviews.
