Trying to choose laptop
-
12-11-2012 12:53am#1Hey there
I need to get a new laptop and have a budget of around €500-550.
It will be used for general college stuff, football manager, streaming/downloading movies. I am looking for something that will last me a good few years.
I have semi narrowed my choice down to 3 laptops but would love any other recommendations for the same price range

All good, not an easy choice
This has big Hard drive of 750Gb which is obviously useful if you download a lot of stuff. But it's slow disk if you are using performance demanding applications.
Quality wise I recommend this one, should last for good few years.
This comes with fast and big disk 20GB SSD + 500GB!
One thing bothers me here "Battery Life3-4 Hours (This Specific Model 3.5-hours)" --> dunno if this is true when take in concern it does have ULV processor! Even that Asus above goes 5-6 hours on full 4 cell battery and it has bigger screen than this Acer, so try google more about it...
This Fujitsu doesn't look so slim and lightweight like other two?
It's Core i5 3210M is a bit more powerful for gaming than Core i5 3317U but battery life should be worst.0 -

Cheers for the reply. I am edging toward the asus at the moment. Is there a big difference between the processors? The only game I play football manager
Is it possible to get a better spec laptop on pc specialist for a similar price? I see that particular site being mentioned a lot recently.
Apologies for all the questions, not too well up on computers! :-P0 -
