Is this a good deal
« Thread Started on Oct 1, 2009, 7:44am »

I have been after a new laptop for a while now and I saw this advertised last night.
I know that the 4gb and 350hd is quite good (though I do not know why that is good).
I am not sure if the processor is any good. I am always a bit wary if it is not an intel processor.

Would anybody out there be able to advise?

I intend to use the new laptop mainly for the internet and music (not a lot of music, just when I get bored of what is on my ipod). I will probably put Football Manager and some photos on there as well.

Thanks to anyone who can offer guidance.

Alright pal

The spec looks good for basic use, lots of storage capacity and RAM.

The only thing you might wana get checked out is the graphics card. On the specification info it just says "Shared" which doesn't really offer an iota of help. If you want to play FM (especially the newer ones with the 3D match engine, you will need a good quality graphics card).

Also beware that this doesn't come with Microsoft Office (word, excel etc) so you will have to buy this seperately, or download Open Office
