Help on New Laptop

Hi guys,

I have read a lot of the posts on here and have come up with three options and would like advice please. I will be using the laptop for work first off as an accountant so spreadsheet, accounting package software, word etc nothing too heavy. And of course the normal internet, email videos etc. Portable not massively important. Prefer the intel family of chips and iCore seem to be the best at the moment. I have about €700-€800 incl VAT to spend and would home to include microsoft office home and student in the price.

The three I was think are

Any thoughts or other options for me to consider would be greatly helpful.

Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

Have a look at www.elara.ie they are an authorised HP Retailer and have some good offers. The specs you are looking at are on the money, 4GB of memory will give you good speed, 500GB storage is plenty. You can pick up MSFT Office Home & Student for around €100 inc. VAT

Thanks for the reply was having a look around and laptopsdirect are by far the cheapest for the Sony. Do you know anything about laptopsdirect? Are they any good?

Thanks again.

Yes, you can't go wrong with laptopsdirect - their pricing seems competitive, just confirm their delivery cost etc. The thing to note is whatever brand you buy, the warranty will be with the manufacturer. Also, I suggest you try to get the fastest processor for your budget-which will involve a bit of shopping around and choosing the glossy brand over the workhorse brand!
