    Default Help Looking For New Laptop

    Hi all

    Im wanting a new laptop, not all that clued up though tbh

    Will be used for general browsing, downloading the odd file, burning a few disks, a little bit of photoshop, thats about it really

    My last laptop had a 13.3 inch screen, was never a problem, looking for something between 13'' and 17'', no bigger

    1.5gb of ram + wanted
    100gb hd or bigger
    dvd writer

    Thats about all i can tell, any questions just ask

    Looking to spend around £400

    Any help?

    Thanks

    Forgot to add, was just looking at this one

    Dell's do the job and price is always reasonable.

    If there is any problems with it gives a shout as i am Tech at Dell support.
    normally deal with the higher end stuff but i am sure I can sort a DF member out if they need it ;-)

    Hi, i noticed you said you worked for dell TotallyRandom, was wondering what you knew about the XPS M1330. Iv been looking at that and then the sony vaio TZ series was wondering if you had any thoughts. Any advise would be apreciated.

    Hi Santino both systems are really nice machines not sure what your price range is or what the spec of both are the dells are good cheep machines light weight but Sony re more expense sturdy systems both are just as good just really depends on what your price range is and what what you like the look of

    Thanks for the response, i am looking for a laptop on the smaller size and my price range is hopefully around £900 max which is why the dell really appealed to me, as the top spec looks great for the price. but i am tempted by the tzs as they just look so good shame about sonys high prices. Any other suggestions for a similar sized and price ?
    Thanks

    vaio is over rated in my opinion ,
    the fz11 i have runs realy hot and the batt life is realy bad.
    the touch pad and buttons are nearly flush to the pastic and has the same feel
    makes it hard to tell if your on the pad ,buttons or the plastic.
    do your home work and dont just go by the brand ,iv had better dells
    plug

    yeah i think i am leaning towards the m1330, iv heard the extended warranty is a must with dells, i guess ill check out the prices and see what i can get. cheers for the info, shame the vaio's just seem to look slick but aren't worth the money

    I just got rid of a vaio, fair enough it was a couple of years old (vgn-s4xp) but the spec seemed decent enough when i bought it, i was less then impressed with it, now got the laptop that i mentioned above and im more then happy with it for the price
