Thanks.

Laptops are an acquired taste and vary user to user. Your link is a spec page showing general specifications for the model, not what YOU would be buying specifically.

Can you post the full pedigree of the actual laptop you'd be buying and the FULL offered price, then we can share an opinion.

Price
Model
Speed
HD size/type
CD/DVD burner(?) included
Memory size/type
Wifi
Bluetooth
All included software (ALL)
All included accessories/bags
Extra battery?

Lastly, what will be YOUR use for the newly acquired laptop? Tell us that, then look at the price tag, the debate may already be over, you know?

Price: £339.99 EDIT - PRICE IS £399.99
Model: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li2735

I have this desktop computer for playing High Spec games. I would use my laptop mainly for surfing the web (playing videos, runescape, msn, doing work on office, those kind of things). I would also watch DVDs on it.

TOTAL price is £399? No taxes, surcharges, etc?

That's $735 US dollars, and I'm confident I could shave at least $100, if not more. The first very comparable laptop on the following list is only $459, which is only £249.

15" & 15.4" Laptops on TigerDirect.com (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?Recs=10&Nav=|c:2510|&Sort=4)

And that's just the first website I checked. If I got serious, or timed it, I could get a laptop with similar specs for less than $400 US.

You're price isn't bad. It's a B- price. But you may/should be able to keep some of that money as you make this purchase. I'm just saying...

Your always so much help lol. Well the other type was an Acer aspire 5920.

(http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0204240926.121978341 4@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccciadeemkejdedcflgceggdhhmdfhk.0&page=Accessory&sku=692890)

That is one I would really consider buying.

Price: £399.99
Model: Acer Aspire 5920
Speed: 2Ghz
HD size/type: 160GB SATA
CD/DVD burner(?) included: Super Multi format DVD burner with double layer (DL)
Support.
Memory size/type: 3GB DDR2
Wifi: Yes

I know this is probably a lot to ask but I want these kind of specs or even better at about the same price. Do you know any websites or laptops that are around the same price and have the same specs?

As I said, you have to shop the sites that service your part of the world. If I was giving myself a $750 laptop budget, I wouldn't be trying to get similar laptops, I'd be trying to get the best I could for that price, better ones.

For me, my shopping specs would be:
17"+ widescreen format
2ghz+
250+ gig HD
3gig+ memory
XP Pro (not Vista, if possible, hard to find nowadays)
DVD burner (any is fine)
Wifi
MS Office (Student or SBE)
Lastly, I'd make my $$ stretch furthest by buying a refurbished unit. The benefit here is up to 20% savings, and whatever WAS wrong with the unit (if anything) has already been found out and repaired. Win-win.

Anyway, found a 17" widescreen unit on Dell.com, configured it for $750US as:
# Studio 17 - Midnight Blue
Intel® Pentium® Dual Core T2390 (1.86GHz/533Mhz FSB/1MB cache)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition SP1
Glossy widescreen 17.0 inch display (1440x900)
256MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 3650
3GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2
250GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)
8X Slot Load CD / DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-R Drive)
Dell 1397 Wireless-G Card
Integrated 2.0M Pixel Webcam
56 Whr Lithium Ion Battery (6 cell)
Integrated Sound Blaster® Audigy™ Advanced HD Software Edition
1Yr Ltd Hardware Warranty and Mail In Service
Included 3 GB DataSafe Online Backup for 1Yr
Free Recycling Kit

Stretching those $$...

Omg!! That's a great idea, I've had a look however and I'm having trouble finding good ones for my £400 price range would you be able to help me a little bit? That one you found would be great but I cannot find any good ones on dell :( Thanks agen JBeaucaire!!

Now here's the thing, this site's refurbished notebooks changes daily. If I didn't find the exact specs/price I wanted, I'd check again tomorrow. Patience. Notice how at YOUR pricepoint, I"m getting a lot more memory and hard drive space...and 17" widescreen would be a requirement at that price, at least for me.

Thanks again for all your help. The only thing is I want 2Ghz + and an intel core 2 duo processor. Also I am in england so shipping might cost a lot more. I like your specs they would suit me, what I am looking for, especially a 17" screen. Just that website doesn't have many that suit me :(

Also the last one would probably more suit me however it only has a 1.83Ghz processor isn't that quite slow?

Oh and also would it be better to get one with an actual graphics card instead of Intel X3100 GMA or something like that. If you could have a look and see if you could find any with specs like this is would be appreicated. Thanks JBeau.

Wat about that it's a Dell Studio 17? £449.00 more expensive but a lot better.

Also the last one would probably more suit me however it only has a 1.83Ghz processor isnt that quite slow?
No. If you can tell the diff between a 1.83 ghz and 2.0 ghz processor, you're a god.

I'd keep the extra money and go with that unit, but the one you posted above does look nice. <chuckle> In the end, it's your toy, eh?

Lol thanks. It's just this computer is 3.40Ghz that's why 1.83 seems so little? And lastly is it better to get one with an actual graphics card instead of Intel X3100 GMA or something like that? Thanks for your help agen.

The Dell is a good one. The speed is good, the video card is great, the memory and HD space is good. That's the same unit I configured on the Dell website myself, you just beefed it up more than I did.

All sounds good, if money is no object, buy that one. Next project...

HaHa I might get that one. However as you said it's disappeared now because it was refurbished :( I don't know what to do :( Alsowhere did you find that dell one at that price because I can't find it :(

Omg I've just noticed that Dell's factory outlet excludes VAT on its prices. What do I do now? :(

Pay it, next project.

Wow I'm such a pain. That's way too much for my price range :( I can't find any other ones that are as good as this one for the price. Refurbished I can't find any for my £400 price range :(

It might have to be this one -

I don't know... laptops are rare purchases. Hate to settle...

I know I'm dragging this on but it's a big decision. I want to do the right thing :(

Right say I was to get this laptop:

PC World UK Computer Superstore - Buy cheap computers, laptops, desktop PCs, printers, LCD TVs, sat nav, digital cameras and more.. (http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@2001420404.121987936 4@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccciadeemldfheecflgceggdhhmdgmj.0&page=Accessory&sku=692890)

What can I do with it? Can I play latest games? Runescape on highest detail?

Will it run IE7? Office 2007? The latest software?

I don't know what to do :(

Based on what you said you wanted to do, ANY laptop you buy will do those things. Buy one now.

BTW, you don't want IE7. You want FireFox.

Okay so do you think this is good?

PC World UK Computer Superstore - Buy cheap computers, laptops, desktop PCs, printers, LCD TVs, sat nav, digital cameras and more.. (http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/editorial/acer-aspire-5920/?int=right_nav_Laptops)

That's the best one I can find for its price. Also I'm using IE7 now? :confused:

Also that laptop has a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 is that as good as the Nvidia GeForce 3 that is needed for the highest detail on runescape?

Switch to Firefox on your new computer. It's SO much faster, has almost none of the security issues IE7 has, and 100s of plugins let you customize the program in ways IE7 can only dream of.

One plugin is called IETab, lets me open a website in an IE7 window because the website is demanding it... still in FireFox. Hehe. Awesome.=
========

I already said that laptop is fine. Buy it. At that pricepoint, I'd get something similar like this:

Amazon.co.uk: Acer Aspire 5920 Notebook Laptop, Intel Core 2 Duo T5550, 1.83GHz, 15.4" TFT, 2GB RAM, 250GB Hard-drive, DVD±RW, Intel GraphicsX3100, Integ Webcam, WiFi, Vista Home Premium: Electronics & Photo (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0010X2L4O/interactiveda3056-21)

4% less computing power but offset by 50% MORE storage, major bonus, to me. Meanwhile, yours is great. BUY IT. NEXT!!

Okay thanks again for all your help. Lastly hopefullly, that laptop has a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 is that as good as the Nvidia GeForce 3 that is needed for the highest detail on runescape?

Ask Scleros in the hardware forum. That's a little too specific for my history. I play immersive games at times, too, but the need for the highest level of detail has never been worth the added $$ to me, the game is exactly the same level of enjoyment to me at 70-80%

Thanks again JBeau till we meet again!! :p
