Would value any opinions to 4 lappies that i have in mind please. As I am currently living out of UK (in Cyprus) my options of brands is limited. Price around £1000
- HP 8710p (GC100EA) - currently on local promo offer with 3 gigs ram and a price reduction tag of approx £850 - 3 years guarantee
- Toshiba Satellite X205 - about £200 more than HP
- Dell Vostro - customised (downside - prob have to order & pick up on next visit home to UK & UK only warranty) - about £800
- Sony Vaio VGN-FZ31M - about £50 more than the HP
IMPORTANT POINTS:
gaming
good wireless connection
good quality screen - clarity & colour
adquate USB ports
reliability
NOT SO IMPORTANT:
mobility
navigation (use an external USB mouse)
battery life
possibility of downgrading to Win XP Pro (not too sure about having Vista).
Would be nice to have the little extras such as built in webcam, good sound etc but would sacrifice those for the important points.
Thanks so much for reading this.
