Fi, we swear by our HP laptop. Always fancied a Vaio though.:D

Haven't looked at the laptop market for a wee while though, so can't comment on the spec/£ issue.:confused:

A.:D

yip I fancy a Vaio but not sure as they seem to be a bit £££ looking at PC world. Just want something that's up to date and super fast that stays fast.

[sh@z]

Stay away from Sony, they are nice laptops but their build quality isn't the best. Also if the need to give it a clean install ever came up Sony makes it very difficult to do this without major headache cos of making drivers hard to get a hold of... at least without the bundled crap they throw in. (uncle has two, at 15.4" one, and a SZ which is the smaller one, looks very nice but is kinda bogged down by all the crap that it comes bundled with, and was a PAIN to format and do a clean install on as from the specs it was running to slow as it came out of the box, and he paid like £1200 for it :O)

My friend rates Acer very high and the company he works for is the authorised repair center for them, and says their build quality is superb. So I'd go for one of them.

I just got myself an Asus laptop from Misco. Have a look, their prices are very good and I got it the day after I ordered. Also recommended this by friend over Acer due to the spec and that I wanted a 14.1" Laptop. (and spanks uncles Vaio :p)

I'd go for the Acer Aspire 5633WLMi - LX.AY30X.049 as it has nVidia graphics, avoid any with the Intel GMA as thats on board graphics and not the best really. But as I say, have a look at Asus, am very impressed with mine thus far.

funny that I saw a link on a PC forum about Asus and have already had a look the guy there highly recommened it.

[niknax]

toshiba are seamingly the ones who started it all.....:)

ive just bought an advent intel core duo t2250 1.73ghz from currys (not my first choice in stores) but was pleasantly surprised.....its a very fast machine (runs even faster when not connected to a wireless network) got 2gb ram and it flies.....it was about £499, reduced from £699 with windows vista home premium....highly recommend it as i do cad work on it and its very stable :cool:

[Scottie]

it's all double dutch to me was told to look for Hybrid hard drive (one that has flash along with the regular drive. but tbh honest I've no idea what they are on about

[sh@z]

Yeah, I hadn't heard much about Asus for laptops till my friend told me about how good they were, same with Acer. Always thought Sony were good but damn they are overpriced.

The one i went for was: http://misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=275614&CatId=0

Its faster than my desktop PC lol, the flash thing is for Vista as it can use it speed up loading applications, but not essential. You can use a flash USB drive for that too ;)

[X30YES]

Tesc* have some great deals Fi ;)

[s12cot]

i have a fujitsu siemens lifebook s series - really quick machine..

[KenL]

I've had 2 Dell machines, current one is a laptop - both have been excellent and great value for money.

[john]

I have an HP Pavillion dv 1000 and Sully liked it so much that he bought one:)

[Craig]

I currently look after approx 100 Dell laptops at work and I have to say I see them very infrequently. :D

they are very good quality and the prices are still very competitive.

They would be my choice :)

The hybrid drives are pretty new. Your PC uses a section of hard drive for a swap file, which contains temp data that it's using at any time. The downside is that a hard disk is not as fast as the RAM in the PC, so it can get get bogged down. Flash is much faster, so the hybrid drives use the flash for the swap file, hence you get a faster response. They also (apparently) don't use as much power, therefore can run cooler.

That's the theory anyway, I've not tried one myself.

[Neil and Lorna]

Fi.

I've got the Acer Aspire 5634 WLMI.

Really pleased with it.

Neil.:D :D :D

[Scottie]

Got one.:D I'm happy with it. a Sony Vaio. Went for Sony as it's been the only make of laptop that I have had 6 years trouble free use so I thought just go with what I know
this one is so much nicer than my other one more modern. PC world have them on offer the now

seemed a good enough buy to me

Didn't want to spend to much as I've got my fingers crossed that my Mac will get fixed.

[AndyP & Lenore]

Cant really argue with a Sony Vaio at £499. Sony put out good stuff. Never had any problems with anything I've had from Sony. TV's PS3's, PSP's VCR's etc.

A.:D

[Scottie]

I also now want one of these. Had a play tomight and liked it.
