Perfect for games, movies and surfing the net with a full size QWERTY keyboard.

Good price there Mr S.

Mark, whats your budget and what will you be using it for?

 

[Scott F]

Don't know enough about computors to know whats what, but you can get a 7 inch laptop from Maplins for about £120.
At the other end Apple Macs /Apple products are top notch but quite pricey

Ah

400 notes might buy you a second hand MAC. Must admit, its all i use now, but they are expensive.

Have a look at the Dell website.

You can spec your own laptop to fit your budget.

By the sounds of it, you should get a decent one for around £400

Does sound a bit odd.

Maybe the Dell one has a delivery charge included?

Still, if PC world have got them, sounds like that could be the way to go!

PS just seen the advert on tv.

You can even choose a funky colour

My only advise would be to avoid vista & get one running XP

Good point!

Mind you, Windows 7 or whatever it is, will be MUCH better

I gots me a 3 year old Toshiba Equium A100. Brilliant machine, as good as anything out today speed and memory wise.

They probably dont make em anymore but it's Toshiba for me.

I have been building Pc's and Macs for years and would always advise on buying a Mac, They cost a bit more but are so much more reliable FACT: for every 10000 crashes there are on a PC there are 0.9 crashes on a MAC also there are thousands upon thousands of virus on the PC whereas there are 2 yes 2 Virus on the MAC and they have both been cured

 

[Mr Mark Sparks]
