Best £700 laptop

jonnyc90 · 25 Dec 2007 at 20:07

I'm looking to buy a laptop for some school and university work and other stuff like surfing the net. I don't want to use it for gaming or anything, but DVDs probably. Just wondered if there are any deals or laptops to look out for this time of year.

Got about £700 to spend, but can stretch either way.

Thanks, JonnyC90

Sorry forgot add that I want a relatively long batttery life, and not to be carrying around something huge.

So £500-600 would be enough then?

I'm almost sure that I have settled on the Fujitsu Siemens Amilo PI2515, seems fine for my purposes.
For just less than £500.

HP G7015EA
HP laptop featuring Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor, 2GB RAM, 160GB storage, Windows Vista Home Premium and a 15.4" widescreen display.

I recommended the above laptop to a mate this morning & he is off over Coventry to pick it up now. Reduced from 600 quid to 399 quid. A Bargain if you ask me.

I want to keep the laptop I buy as light as possible with longer battery life than 2 hrs. The Fujitsu Siemens has nearly 4 hrs of battery life (claimed). Plus it is a 1.8GHz opposed to 1.46GHz.

Nevertheless the HP still looks like an interesting deal.

Sounds great to me mate. My mate keeps his plugged in most of the time so battery life wasn't an issue. Damn cheap though. Let us know what the one you buy is like as i get many requests to spec laptops.

Will do, its just starting up for the first time now, taking ages like usual.

After two hours or so of use I'm very satisfied with this laptop so far.

Don't know whats yet to come though :confused:
