Laptops direct or ebuyer or just possibly Dell

there are always deals on somewhere


if you want it to last you should look at something thats a bit higher spec than you need right now

personaly I'd got with a decent mid spec ASUS (not ACER) that should last me 5 years+ (my old ASUS one is 8 years old and still going)

maybe something like this:

or this:
http://www.stak.com/store/viewItem.asp?idProduct=13306


but if your on a budget Dell do some quite cheap....

I guess it depends how long you want it to last etc...

I would only buy Dell or Toshiba now... having worked with a lot of laptops over the last couple of years these are the only two that seem to be "student proof" (I.E. capable of withstanding neglect and high levels of abuse) and reliable...

The poverty spec Dell inspiron 15" is about £300 I believe... it is a good machine and sells by the million!

The last Dell I bought has only just died on me... was used almost daily for the last 6 years!

Wouldn't go Dell - they're all the one's I seem to repair.

HP/Compaq - seem to just go on forever... ultimately depends what you want one for. Games are a no brainer on a Laptop - extensive use for long periods just wears them out.

Otherwise - they're alright.

EDIT: Curry's are clearing out the Compaq's cheap as they are now owned by HP.

Remember that you can still get a FREE laptop with mobile broadband contracts - worth a thought
