€1,000 to spend on new laptop

tonc76

Hi,

I'm about to buy a new laptop and have €1,000 to spend. I will be using it primarily for word processing and pulling together presentations with microsoft publisher. I will need to download large images from web (have upc 10mb bb).

I've seen this:

http://ecomm.euro.dell.com/dellstore/basket.aspx?c=ie&cs=iedhs1&l=en&s=dhs&itemtype=CFG&oid=fe4d53a3-500a-4e99-a194-8e665fc0471a

Any recommendations?

Thanks

link doesn't work. You can't link to your "basket", you'll have to link to the spec page, or post them up here.

If you will be using it for processor light applications like you say, you don't need an expensive laptop.

The cheapest DELL laptop will work fine. You can use the excess money to buy an external hard disk to backup your files, and a nice holiday for you an the missus

€1000 can get you alot of laptop these days, if your uses are as stated, €500 - 600 should be able to get you a reasonably speced Inspiron 1525 more than capable of your needs, if you want to go with Dell.
