HP Pavilion DM1-1020SA

Fowler87

Looking to buy a new laptop on a 300-450 euro budget. Found this offer today on elara... wondering if anyone has the same/similar laptop and whether its recommended? Im liking the 3 Gb RAM cos im big into football manager and I have AutoCAD, nova point software that takes up alot of memory, plus my 1Gb RAM Compaq Presario is on its last legs!

Thanks

Not too sure if that processor Intel Celeron SU2300 / 1.2 GHz ( Dual-Core )
would be able to run football manager doesn't that game usually require higher ?

I would advise AGAINST buying any hp laptop products.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Display-and-video/hp-dv9500-screen-problem/m-p/33766 - have a look.

I bought a 1000 euro+ top of the range laptop, dead within 18 months. A massive global fault with Hp laptops.
Hp refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem and knowingly sold laptops when they knew there was major problems.
Try dell, mine has lasted for years and i had to dust it off use it again, after my new HP died
So my advice steer well clear of HP, no matter how tempting they seem, i and 1000s of others learned the hard way.

On the other hand, my brother, my sister and I have all had very bad experiences with Dell laptops. Mine personally had a broken disc drive, charger, battery, wireless and bad hinges and I am VERY careful with my laptop.

I suppose your right, any laptop can break down,all that gear packed into a small case
But i think the HP fault takes the biscuit, nvidia even set aside something like 150million dollars for repairs etc, Apple refunded/replaced their dodgy computers, but HP are still trying to charge 100s to replace the faulty motherboards with the SAME faulty motherboards.
