I am looking at laptops at the moment and not sure what to look for when buying one. I would like a good laptop but not a very expensive one either.

Any advice would be helpful

my sister has a Dell laptop and I have an HP laptop

we are both very happy with them

I would advise you to look for these brands, if you can find them in good price

moreover I would advise you to prefer a computer with Pentium processor

I have spotted a HP one on the PC World website. I think its good plus its also in red . It was €699 but its reduced to €499 which is a good price.

HP G6-1241sa 15.6" laptop

Intel Core i5 2430M
6GB Memory
750GB Hard Disk
Intel HD Graphics
Genuine Windows ® 7 Home Premium
Upto 5 hours battery life

I can't suggest anything since I am not laptop guru but I can say that I like ours which is HP Compaq 8710w. It has 6 USB ports, of course port for printer, internet and telephone line and few others I don't even use and don't know what they are for It has mic but no web but I don't use it so it's not important to me. It also has security option with your fingerprint. You also can add several chips/ cards from your photocamera. One bad thing is that it's big and heavy. Not good if you want to carry it around often and you don't have car.

That looks like the best offer from that site.

The laptop I have it quite heavy and that it one thing I wont be able to check out in the shop unless they have the box under the display. Although with the shop I will be going to they often jump on people as they walk in the store

Thanks Nick I will buy the laptop this week because on the 8th of January a new tax will come in that is going to make everything much dearer

I bought my new laptop today. I got a HP one. Realy wanted to get the red colour but only purple was left



I also got a laptop bag with it and free McAfee Software. I was supposed to get half price Windows 7 Student package with it but they said it wont be in for 2 weeks

Heres some pics of the box which I like

[Phantom]

I am sure you'll enjoy it

[Sharon007]

Thank you Zoi. I haven't opened the box yet I will try to upload the software at the weekend although it will be another week before I get windows on it . Currently using my old one at the moment.

Congrats with the new laptop, Sharon

[Sharon007]

Thanks Magic. I started using it recently and find it better the my last one. the sound is much better too. It will be helpful in college as one part of the course will be done online.
