decision

a family friend is off to ucl at the start
of the next academic year and was asking about what laptop to buy. she would
have very different requirements to me; not requiring huge amounts of disk,
processor or memory (or the other gadgets such as sd and wi-fi which have
become so important to me). so browsing around there are some incredibly good
deals for entry level laptops and they do have surprisingly good specs.

the four that looked pretty good to me were:

Apple
iBook
£799
IBM
Thinkpad
£558
Sony
Vaio
£930
Toshiba Satellite
Pro
£700

as ever, if you want the latest and greatest then you have to pay through the
nose, my tecra was over £2,000 to contrast with these prices!

  2. Amazingly enough- my niece wanted one too. We ended up getting her a 2.4 gig, 15″ TFT, CD-RW/DVD, 256mb ram and 40mb hard drive laptop, with XP bundled. How much ? £639 + VAT. An Acer Aspire 1310. And the cheapest way to get it was from the Acer website. Arrived the next day, and so far – dammed fast. (I’ve got a £4k Dell Inspiron – not easily swayed) . —* Bill
