shawislove Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I've had a little scout, but i really don't know what i'm looking for and i thought i'd consult some people who acctually know what their doing. I need it for: Web browsing Watching DVDs iTunes Wireless Internet Coping with the beast that is Vista I had a look on eBuyer: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/124932 http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/123115/rb/0 Probably both ****, any other suggestions?

Brian M. Veteran Posted June 30, 2007 Veteran Share Posted June 30, 2007 Have a look at the Dell Inspiron 1501 series. I have one (albeit with a highly upgraded cpu etc...) and theyre great little machines. Basically an AMD version of the 6400 without the media buttons :p As long as you dont upgrade it much, it should stay way under ?400, although they can clock up to about 700/800 if you add bits to them Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/570611-best-budget-laptop-for-under/#findComment-588664440 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbandonedTrolley Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Maybe check here I've been using an Acer Aspire laptop for ages now and I love it, never had anything go wrong with it other than a cover broke after my father mishandled it, cost ?10 to replace though so nothing major. This one seems quite nice, 1 gig of RAM and Vista Home Premium on it, only thing is not a dedicated graphics card, but I didn't notice you saying you will be playing many games on it.

idoia Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 or the dell 640m if you want it lighter and with a 14" screen although the 6400 is looking nice with the 2GB Ram Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/570611-best-budget-laptop-for-under/#findComment-588665183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
