Which of these Laptops? Help Pls!

I want to get myself a new laptop. I have a desktop so would just be using it for surfing the web, skype, playing dvds. Nothing major.

I have read the stickys about memory, processors etc but the more I read the more confused I get :rolleyes:

I was looking at either of these:

Which would be best - or is there much of a difference?

Thanks for any feedback!

I'd go for the last one, the first has slightly more ram but the processor isn't as fast and it'd be easier to upgrade ram than the processor, apart from that they are almost identical. However the last has a nice webcam to add to your skype experience

The one from Komplett has even less ram but a bigger harddrive but if you're just messing online, this shouldn't be a problem. couple that and komplett's bad reputation I'd stay away from this one and go with the last.

Thats my brief overview, but more technical details would be more helpful to you

P.S. Helps if you think of the processor as the brain, the RAM as the muscle and the harddrive as the Fat of a human body. higher number on the processor means the "brain" runs faster, higher RAM means the "muscle" can handle more and the "fat" refers to how much you can store on it

That laptop far out classes any of the ones you have linked, and is only 50 euro more expensive.

I would have to agree with Alanstrainor, the laptop he linked to would be far better than the three you posted.

For what you are going to be using the laptop for the only really important thing is the processor, as it basically determines the speed of the machine.
