Ignore earlier post as I should have posted this one.

ZX Laptop out later this year.

I know that Shafty, that's why I'm asking you morons to help me out what have you got? I don't necessarily trust the reviews of those I believe to be biased one way or the way.. I'd much rather trust a fellow punters word over those pigs. I've been looking for over a week and it's beginning to do my ****g head in. Just when I think I've found 1, I see enough buyers rubbishing it all over the place which sends me back to the drawing board

birdy, can you vouch for that 1? I was looking more towards the brands Dell and HP. I know they "rate well" but I heard bad things about Lenovo "dropping out" a lot. And as punters, that's the last thing we want to be having trouble with

mousey, what's your current baby? or are you fixed at your powerful PC?

every brand will have pos and negs...personal choice.

any laptop in your price range will siffice.

btw..all my labtops are samsung.

ssd...8mg ram..i3/i5.

2 PCs, 1 laptop running here at my station currently, but down to a single personality for the next 30 days.

hp elite book, had it few years still flying.

forget that the newer version is over a grand.
cant remember what paid for this when new must of been more than I thought .
ouch.

Pro-Sniper I currently have a Lenovo Ideapad similar model and it's the best laptop I have had so far.

Samsung! Interesting, shafty. Not a particular brand that gets mentioned a lot when talking about the daddy pc/laptop brand. I've had a cracking Samsung TV for years

moony, was drawn to that a few times, can't remember what it was that put me back off that 1 ? The thing is I'd be prepared to go to a grand or over IF I really needed a machine that I was going to put through the ringer! but I won't be playing games or doing extensive work that higher-end laptops are built for. Surfing the web in a snappy manner, smooth video playback(got to bear in mind that HD p()rn.. ) running multiple apps, and the odd bit of video editing(smooth previewing) is all the power I need..

mousey

Cheers birdy, I might be forced to take a chance on a Lenovo I'll make sure it's a deal where I can send the piece of crap back if it gives me any hassle or doesn't live up to what's needed

Buy it from Argos ProSniper as they never give a problem with faulty goods.

i trawled https://www.hotukdeals.com/ for months waiting for the right one, the users can be pretty savvy

HP is one to avoid given experiences of friends and a relative in the industry who is a computer journalist. Personally owned a Samsung and a Lenovo i5; former still going great guns after 3 years, and latter too until a loose inlet socket/power connector incapacitated it. No doubt will continue to perform when sorted.

Asus is decent too and has a good reputation for being reliable and user friendly.

I was hoping ZODIE'S butcher might pop in and see me right. Being an IT whizz an all, I bet he knows where all the value/bargains lie..

Cheers hunty, not seen that site before. Might hold off a little longer and do some more scanning, birdy..

Cheers possi, even though they seem to have a "good brand" rep, the amount of people I've seen complaining about HP products is quite worrying as for Asus, I was trying to steer clear of that brand as I had a very bad experience with one a while back

ProSniper, I meant Acer not Asus. I was advised the best time to buy a laptop is around March to present as newer models would have been out, and discontinued ones going for much cheaper. Also, big retailers like PCWorld offer massive cash-back on top. Good luck!

Cheers poss1. I agree on Acer. I had an Acer a few years ago which ran with 0 probs. I've also currently got an Acer chromebook which I really like. But of course they're limited to browsing/video watching. I've got a powerful PC. I've got a nice portable, solid browser in the chromebook, and now all I need is a combo of portability+power

Will you be borrowing the printer off stewy?

Ah Acer, I also had one some years ago and it was pretty poor value and would never look at another one.

Got my own printer

birdy this just shows you the fine line these manufacturers tread. Sell someone 1 lemon and your whole brand becomes tainted! future custom forever lost

snipey...you have a choice of hundreds.

need ram.

iPad

I would reccomend looking at the HP range and match your budget to the requirements. Good luck

get sorted snipey?

Take your computer to a "computer mechanic" have them look at it and ask for a price for an upgrade. I have a Dell Inspiron cost £155 for upgrade as good as new. Saved myself a few quid.

This is all very fishy.

Hooked a few.

i am told there was a world wide internet crash 10 days ago,and everyone on the planet should have lost their bank accounts  forever.But WINDOWS 7 saves the day.
