    Question What laptop for £1,500?

    My sister has been given a budget of £1,500 by work to get a laptop (lucky cow).

    I've told her to get one of the new Sony's with HDMI and BluRay.

    What laptop would you get for £1,500? (can't be a mac as she cant use them)

    Get a MacBook Pro and learn to use it it will take about 10 mins to work it out.

    I've told her about the MacBook Pro, that was my 1st choice but I think she wants a windows based machine.

    The power packs are a little big, if that is an important factor...

    I also recommend the Macbook Pro actually it really wouldn't take that long to learn it at all so unless it is necessary to use Windows it's defintely worth a mention their not only great performing machines they also look good and are practically virus and trouble free.

    On the other hand if that isn't an option how about this:

    http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/asp/v...=version&page=

    Blu-ray recorder, 18.4 inch 1080p screen, dual core, beefy graphics card, 4GB of RAM plus 400GB of storage

    It's pretty big but its bursting with features it's a great desktop replacement.

    Get a Macbook Pro and install Windows on it...!!!!!

    That way if she likes Mac OS she can use it if not she can use it as a windows box full time.

    It is one of the fastest machines to run Vista on...!!!!!
