[quote=“tazdedub”]I wouldn’t go with a Dell, I ordered one last november and I was still waiting for it to be delivered in February, ended up cancelling the order and getting a toshiba. Its not bad only problem is Windows vista.
Dont know about an apple mac, thought they were mainly for graphic designers and the like.[/QUOTE]
Taz,
Was it hassle getting a refund? I have heard one of two horror stories like that also.
The courier company that they use to deliver is right beside where I work and I intend to go down there and collect myself in person once they have it.
At the moment it has being “dispatched” by Dell but the delivery company have yet to receive it
I like HPs.
Sonys are overpriced.
Dells are ugly.
Acers are good value.
Samsungs meant to be quite good.
Big or small Locke?
If small I’d be thinking Netbook.
I have to buy one for the ma. [Don’t ask][/QUOTE]
Not one of those shitty small things, I’d like to get something with a large enough screen, in built camera too, want to skype that shit up.
Might go down the Acer route, not too bad I suppose. Would pay the cash for Mac though if I thought it wouldn’t cause me too many problems down the line.
I’m looking on Laptops Direct, they any good? Anyone bought from them? Is this the best way to go? I just reckon that if I go into a Harvey Norman or PC World etc that you just get fleeced…

If your going down the Windows route then Windows 7 is out on October 15th. I’ve had two Dells myself and have never had any “major” problems with them, my current one was crashing a lot but there hasn’t been a squeak out of it since I put windows 7 on, so I’m putting the problems down to Vista more so than the machine build. The Studio range of dells are quiet nice looking and pretty good value.
I’ve never used a Mac for an extended period of time, but do have to look after a couple of MacBook Pro’s work and they seem to be grand if you are looking for something different to Windows.

Have a Sony Vaio myself Locke which I got in PC World and would recommend one of them. They are probably more expensive than the other brands though. There are always deals on if you check the paper most days so once you have the spec the brand doesnt matter as much. PC World etc all try to sell on insurance which is where they rip you off so if you avoid that then dont think they are too bad price wise.
Probably around 650/700. Would need a convertible as do a lot of travel so needs to be light as well. Not looking for major performance so M series should be ok.
I’d stretch to 850 if I could get one of the surface books back tax free from the states.
