george at Asda

how do you use it (home, out and about etc and what do you use to do)?
what's the budget?

^ nosey

there's no point in saying wait for windows9 and get an i7 with ssd and a billion ram if the budget is 200 quid and he just uses it to play the lottery and watch porn

Porn and gambling's what a laptop is for!

elise i use my lap top at home i just want to go from page to page quickly not take an age budget around 1500 pounds

Samsung Chromebook.

Fast with anti~virus built in. 

That's twice I have recommended this laptop in the last week on here.   

Hey Samsung  "Any fears"  ££££££ 

bluenose which which chromebook as there seems to be a few to pick

Samsung.
No disc for dvd's or add on's.
Just the basic if you just use it for gambling.
The Mrs "bingo~brain" laptop is full of facebook ollox & pics. 
Very slow 

well for that money you'd get a time machine

if you don't use it as a gaming machine then i'd buy an apple macbook pro, lower in price is the asus zenbook

if you need gaming then consider a schenker, alienware (several versions of both depending upon needs) or an asus rog if you can get one with a discount, you're spoilt for choice in that range, i'd be buying a desktop and running two screens at that money

i've always found it's better to go for the biggest screen poss for home use esp if you are running off mains and don't have to carry it for work

if you can get an i7 processor with stacks of ram and a solid state drive you won't go far wrong, lower prices you'll trade off some bits of the machine but you'd get a really decent laptop at 600-800 quid if you do a bit of homework and a holday with the change

How do you make two screens show different things, elise?

Macbook all day long.

Nothing compares with the Apple machine - at least, not for me ....

Thanks elise, looks complex to an old luddite but I would guess it's essential for in running if using live vid.

I agree with saddo - 2 laptops here

Lol, Delta, I was thinking of keeping it simple and getting another lappy.

just read wikihowto...I wouldn't want to risk following the instructions as i'd probably bugge r up the computer..incomprehensible to an old idiot like me

saddo, any teenager would do it for you, or pop into a pc world etc and they talk you through it, 2 min job

It's not that hard- I'm not computer savvy but managed it easily enough, think I just googled something like add extra monitor

Basically plug it in.

Then ask on forum how to change anything.
