Laptop - Suggestion? UK Guppies

Hey Guys.

I need some help from Uk Guppies. I had a laptop a week ago but for the past 3 months it was giving me problems, even to the extent that the hard drive blew. so i returned it to the place i bought it from and got my full money back, so

Now i have 430 Pounds which i wana / i can afford upto, to buy a new laptop.
What i need help with is, what would you ppl suugest that i get, and the specifications or if anyone knws any place where i can get a good deal within my affordable price.

I had Sony Vaio, but i wasnt too pleased with it. someone suugested that HP’s are good to go for :hmmm:

Although i also know a few ppl who’ve had custom made Dell Laptops but i imagine that getting it custom made wud go over top my affordable price? but if it dont then, what specification would you suggest to get it, and where and how.

I really appreciate your help, what are we britts for, United, so come one help me :smiley:

Thank You.

I wouldnt recomment Turions since they love to drain batteries.

The one you have given a link to=> It has a LOT of memory which is great, you have plenty of HD space, it has an integrated web cam....... the only downside is that it has Vista Home.... Any Vista OS is total crapolla but try to obtain the Premium or any other OS for that matter.....through other elaborate means ofc... ;)

I have always loved HP technology, in fact i am using a HP tablet now... go for either the one you have selected above, or a Dell.

Get a Mac. Being a PC isnt all that amazing. They all eventually commit suicide.

Hey Maroush, Thanxxx ALot for your input on ths matter, i really appreciate it.
yehh i undestand what you mean about vista not being a popular OS, aprt from that am pretty happy with this i think cos am not gonna do heavy work on it, mostly its for browsing net, and microsoft office, am not into games so, that wont put a load on it.

hw ever someone did say something about the processer being an AMD underperforming, but withthte load am gonna use it to, will it be ok you think?

hmm i ll think about it. :)

btw, whats these emachines i ve been hearing about and coming up on my searches, is this new brand any good. am not familiar with them.
