laptop query

[Schofield]

Hello, sorry if this is in the wrong section, please move if it is.


I have a macbook pro 17" laptop, and also had a sony vaio VGN-N11M as my day to day mess around laptop, i put it on the floor and my dog had a loopy moment and ended up standing on the corner of the screen , i now have a beautiful crystalised screen lol...

All i use the laptop for is Itunes/Msn/and a bit of surfing the net, would someone be kind enough to give me advice on which laptop for £400 MAX would be best suited please.

Many thanks for your time and help


i was thinking maybe something like this..... Fujitsu Siemens Li1718 Core Duo 1GB 120GB DVDRW VistaHomePremium

Could you not replace the broken screen for a lot less than £400?

im sure i could in all honesty, but not sure if its a discontinued model now....seems a bit of a hassle???, also the batterys as useless as can be and the keyboard has problems, so for the sake of all the hassle id rather just get a new one and scrap the **** sony

A Dell Vostro 1000 seems just about right. They're dirt cheap and are a pretty good spec for the money.

You could rip out battery, and the lid- connect a monitor to the VGA output. Slimline, quiet "desktop"
