    Have been thinking about buying this:

    http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/6732371/art/toshiba/l650-19w.html

    Will be using it mainly for college work, witch includes some 2d cad work.
    I also would like to be able to load my music collection on ( about 250gb at the mo) witch is on a desktop external hdd. Would like maybe to be able to play a game or two but not realy an issue as I have a ps3 for that but would be nice tough.

    Just wondering if anyone thought it was a good buy or can recommend better for the Money (preferably less as it's actually about €70 above my budget).
    Don't need a DVDrw (have an external one). I have always looked for best processor/ ram for my money when getting a laptop, is there anything else i may have forgotten?

    Would also like to hear from anyone who has one , what do you think?

    Spec looks good.

    Worst support ever if you have a problem though.

    Have heard that from a couple of people but I've personally only had 1 problem with them out of about 10 orders they delivered about 5 days late, but was no biggie as wasn't waiting on it .

    I thought I put up the toshiba laptop l650 for €719? .Strange the link isn't working now .

    I had lots of good experiences with them too but the one bad one will make sure I never use them again.

    They sent me the wrong laptop twice. A camera case instead of laptop memory and didn't refund the laptop order for about 2 months.

    Never replaced the laptop memory either they wouldn't believe me about the wrong item. Should have brought it further but I was too busy with work at the time over 70 odd euro.
