Buying new laptop.....

MisterMonkey

Hi,
I am looking to buy a new laptop, netbook sizeish, i dunno do netbooks come with dvd drive ever though?

It must have a hdmi out and a massive battery life. these are my only 2 major stipulations.

Am willing to spend in and around 5/600.

should i rule out buying from actual shop, will internet purchase always be quicker?

Some laptops come with BluRay players, with built in DVD RW...

How long is a piece off string? By this, I mean what will you be using it for? Gaming, watching DVD's, browsing the internet?

I plan on cycling around France over the summer and will be using it for browsing then. Apart from that i will be running poker clients which don't take up much memory afaik. Watching dvds(why hdmi port is important), running itunes, will probably do quite a bit of downloading too, I don't know if that matters

I would suggest you to purchase Toshiba Laptops. I have come across many models of Toshiba and they all seem to be very good when compared to the others. Verify the price and model according to your requirement.

Good advice on Toshibas ... I have had 2.

You are out of netbook money so get a nice new laptop ... you get a decent screen, real keyboard, DVD drive anhd nice graphics.

Have a look on the internet before you buy as a lot of the stuff on sale in Curry's and PC-World here is 2 year old stock that they counldn't sell in their own country.

No shop would be selling machines that are 2 years old. Maybe the odd one or two refurbished machine every now and then but that's it.
