Laptop I know what I want Help Please

Mercury83

Hi guys,

I want a Laptop with windows 7 at least 750GB preferably greater than 15" screen and at least 4gb of ram all fow less than €750. I have searched Elara, Dell, Argos and Harvey Norman and not to happy with th choices so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Lots of options from HP, but with a 500gb HD. If you look for a 750gb, the choices are limited.

We got my mother Nd father a windows 8 for Christmas and am so annoyed with it, it never does what you want it to do.

I have been researching the HP Pavillion G6 and customer reviews say its not great.

Had a look at Pc specialist I'm not aware of any of the brands. My first laptop 12 yrs ago was a Dell and it worked brilliantly for me, then I moved towards Sony for 5 years and its still going well but could be better. I am really considering another Sony but could be swayed by customer reviews and recommendations.

I can see plenty of options on komplett. If you want to game, http://www.komplett.ie/komplett/product/zkb_02pc/20191962/msi_classic_cx70_0nf_216nl/details.aspx that one.

Thanks for this it looks great, I have never heard of MSI. How good of a brand is this. I really want to be sure before commiting my hard earned money.

"Dedicated ATI Card" is meaningless. Where does it rank on Notebookcheck? There are plenty of dedicated ATI cards that are no good/not worth the money in PC World, I gave up looking in there.

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-MSI-CX70-i789BW7H-Notebook.77889.0.html covers a similar laptop, albeit not the exact same model.

Cheers thanks for that, good to see review about the brand. I am going to Currys later on and see! Can they offer me any food for thought. I really don't want a windows 8 machine but it looks like I may have to think about compromising

i think its quite good but not for games as it doesnt have a dedicated processor. seems a bit expensive too. lenovo 580s would seem better value or a dell inspiron se. Im no big expert though.

As BO said it is over priced, considering you can get a quad core i7 for less monies.

I want a windows 7 though

Windows 8 is manageable quickly enough.

BTW I got the Samsung laptop from Overclockers and it indead was ****e. I since got a macbook pro and love it, if you can afford it it is a far superior machine

no good for gaming as there is very little games available for it. Luckily this is not why I bought it
