nixy Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Can anyone recommend me a cheap laptop? I just want something mainly for wireless internet surfing so doesn't need to be all singing and dancing. I am sick of having to sit in a specific room where my pc is but when I think about it, all I use it for is internet surfing and shopping! Would maybe need to hook up to a printer in the future for basic print outs. Being mobile is the main thing though. Any ideas? Edit: just realised, i also use the pc for itunes, burning cd's and dvd's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanski Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Aye you can get one of those or even get a free laptop with your mobile provider these days! Some broadband companies also offer free laptops with their broadband - but avoid the deadly AOL for example! try PC world - average price of a reasonable laptop is £300ish now - frightening how cheap they can be! avoid all the sales pitch on all the games/multimedia - you just need to the best pc you can afford - most memory and hard drive space - core 2 duo processor from Intel. If you get last years model then they are even cheaper - there's not much you can do to a laptop until the next major release of whizzy processor comes along so its a bit of bling and snazzy software to dazzel the punters!
