Toshiba Laptop 1TB/4GB/Win 8 €399 Powercity

IRCA

Hi Folks,

In the market for a sub €400 laptop, Powercity have this Toshiba for €400

Seems a decent spec especially with the 1 TB drive - anyone any experience negative/positive on Toshibas or indeed dealing with PowerCity? I've been a Dell user for years and really don't have much expereince of other brands/vendors.

Thanks!

It's a spec that I'd expect for 400 quid.the hdd size is irrelevant in my view as the processor(which is very basic) is more important.
Shop around and keep an eye open for a spec with Intel core i3 chip or even some of the amd chips (a8,a10)

There's a better deal listed on HUKD for £349 (UK shipping - €430 to ROI) here (sold on Amazon).

Acer Aspire E1-570 15.6-inch Notebook
Intel Core i3 3217U 1.8GHz Processor
6GB RAM, 750GB HDD, DVDSM DL
LAN, WLAN, Webcam
Integrated Graphics, Windows 8

That toshiba has a real budget processor. As earlier mentioned an i3 chip is the very least you should be considering and an i3 3xxx series chip and upwards at that.
