Which laptop to buy?

Mark 00

Hey.

I need to get a laptop for the folks. Just a basic machine will do. The main requirements is that out has a webcam and also hdmi out. harddrive size is not important.

I was thinking of getting this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00440D5PE/ref=mp_s_a_2?qid=1299576803&sr=1-2

But then I saw this. http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/Lenovo_IdeaPad_U450_1034192.html

The only thing I don't like about the lenovo is the size but I think is worth it for the price. What ye think? Or any other recommendations?

Thanks.

Theyre two fairly different laptops tbh, the lenovo will be much more portable where that samsung will be relatively bulky in comparison. The lenovo has a ultra low voltage processor whereas the samsung has a full power unit. The samsung would probably be a little quicker but there wont be a whole lot in it. For the pirce, id go for the lenovo i think. 15.6" is a fairly big laptop these days, 14" is just right IMHO, the lenovo will get better battery life too. Whats more, lenovo have a great reputation for building solid products.

I was actually considering that lenovo there a few weeks ago but ended up going for a samsung q330 in the end. The reviews for the lenovo are really very good to be fair.

Thanks zonda. The reason I'm not sure about the size of the lenovo is because it's gonna be used for training the mother to use a laptop for the first time so I figured bigger would probably be better for that purpose but considering the price difference I don't think the samsung is worth the extra money.

To be fair the lenovo coming in less than 320 euro is a bit of a steal me thinks and probably gonna go for it.

Have a look at www.computerbargains.co.uk. Good deals there, and very easy to deal with.

Went for the lenovo. Came in at 318 euro incl delivery which I'm extremely happy with! Hopefully It'll do the trick.

Thanks guys.
