LiquidAK Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Me iPad doesn't display the spec list properly, but it looks good from what I gather. They do money off often, but you'll be waiting 2months for the next one. Cheers man. I need to have a think, do I borrow money and get this great deal before it expires, or do I retain my dignity...

Keefaz Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Well there are labels next to the laptops saying 'we don't work for commission, we work for YOU' but that image was fucked over somewhat when I overheard a manager briefing 2 staff members about targets and the like, something along the lines of "Rachel made £2500, you made £1700 - her profit margin was 1.5, your's was 1.2 - the target's this or that, etc". I said I didn't want Norton because I'd had it before and it offered no more protection than the free one I used after that, AVG. He claimed AVG was rubbish, we had to agree to disagree. I was quite interested in the insurance cover but not on the terms they were asking. I already had a laptop bag. Cheeky fucker wouldn't even give me a plastic bag to cover the thing on the way home, had to go and beg for one at the front desk. You don't want to be walking around Walford with a new laptop. Walford is a real place? Yeah, I live there. http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Media/Pix/pictures/2010/9/22/1285157066521/EastEnders-tube-map-007.jpg Do you live on the square? What's Phil like in real life? We live at Pat's - it's 500 squid a month, plus an extra 50 for unlimited access to the bar in the front room. Phil looks a lot like Bruce Willis in real life, the telly doesn't do him justice at all. He does look a bit rough when he's on the crack like, but who doesn't? Just read this again. Howay, man: that's top class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I need a laptop. Doesn't have to be anything special, just something I can browse and download on, run a game or two, run a few music programs and do some work on. Standard shit. Just wondering if any of the technology connoisseurs on here have spotted any decent deals lately? I don't frequent any of the techy websites or know anything about laptops really so any help would be appreciated. Budget about £500? Does that buy anything decent nowadays? I'm really clueless tbf.

LiquidAK Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.212-9810.aspx Same price as the Dell I posted earlier with much better specs. Should I get that? Only problem is that I know Acer is a bit less highly rated than Dell, but the specs are really good. Torn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem is that I know Acer is a bit less highly rated than Dell, but the specs are really good. Torn. I borrowed an Acer off my brother and found that the keyboard was crap so don't buy just off seeing an advert. The one I borrowed had a curved keyboard and I kept hitting the wrong keys because they weren't where I expected them to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty_Lash Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Right Guys, In desperate need of help. I'm changing jobs next week and so have to hand my laptop back in. Need to get a new one but after reading the internet for the last 3 hours I am still none the wiser. Basically want it to play FM2012, stream skyplayer/4OD, general internet use, Itunes, set up some sort out of illegal music downloading programme. Not sure how much I should be looking to spend but open to any recommendations. Please please help!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Are there brands to avoid? I always see Asus and Acer about when looking at laptops. They're cheaper but are they reliable enough? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Interesting. Been messing about with an HP that must be from 2005ish, which was great as I didn't give a shit what happened to it. It's had a good life but died this week. And one of the ones I have my eye on is HP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Got about £350 to spend. What's the best in the market for that sort of price.

FrenchWilliam Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Been looking at these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=amb_link_157555267_13?ie=UTF8&node=429886031&keywords=Lenovo&brand=Lenovo&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=left-1&pf_rd_r=1ATTMSDJ26CT76WGXRK5&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=280890307&pf_rd_i=514938031#/ref=sr_nr_p_n_style_browse-bin_2?rh=n%3A340831031%2Cn%3A%21340832031%2Cn%3A429886031%2Cp_4%3ALenovo%2Ck%3ALenovo%2Cp_n_style_browse-bin%3A182754031&bbn=429886031&keywords=Lenovo&ie=UTF8&qid=1328369483 Any good? Are there any drawbacks to a 17inch screen? Other than size/weight (I won't have to carry it round much) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I got a Dell XPS a couple weeks back. Would highly recommend, the screen and the speakers are really top notch and if you can find a couple discount codes (there's normally a fair few knocking about for Dell) you can get a very decent spec for a good price.

FrenchWilliam Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Is there any reason why this isn't a good deal?? Sony Vaio, core i3 processor, 4gb ram, 2.1ghz, 15.5" screen, 320gb hdd. No usb 3, but does have hdmi out. Special offer in john lewis near me for £407 because it doesn't have a box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
