Going to help my sis choose a laptop tomorrow, any strong reccomends/avoids.
Will be going to the usual High St shops?
Cheers

Although I hate to say it my IBM Thinkpad isn't bad.

Paula's Siemens Fujitsu isn't bad either but a bit heavier than the Thinkpad.

Rich.

P.S. are you on MSN??

IBM Thinkpad - the best

T series is good

Cheers

Dell are usually excellent in terms of the components they use - certainly better than the average PC you'd get from PC World etc. I don't know much about laptops but I should think it'd be the same for laptops.

Of course if you're feeling really adventurous you could build your own to save a few quid! (In true Locost style )

Dell laptops are fine BUT watch out for the whacking great delivery charge 49 pounds for a laptop is OTT.
HP Compaq Pressario, IBM Thinkpads, Fusitsu-Seimens, Toshiba, Hitachi, Sony --- are all excellent.

What will you be using it for?

If you do alot of travelling with it an Acer Travelmate will be great. They tend to be very light.

I'm typing this on a Compaq presario which I bought from the HP ebay shop. Described as Refurbished, it was actually end of line. Still perfectly modern though.

2.6ghz celeron, 256mb ram, dvd/cd writer etc blah blah....

£300 - works for me

My mum has a toshiba equiem i think its called. Thats a good piece of kit. My mate whose an IT boff recons toshiba are the best to go for. Sometimes the keyboards are a bit poor on the cheaper ones.

TOSHIBA bought.
Thanks all
Colin
