I'm looking for a laptop for my son and have a budget of £400 max. It's mainly for school/uni assignments, music and the web (wireless). All current laptops come with Vista Basic or Premium. Some have 1gb of RAM others 2gb depending on the rest of the spec - what you gain on RAM you lose on the hd etc. Is 1gb RAM ok for Vista Premium/Basic?
Any views on the following (all £400 ).
Compaq Presario F500 - AMD Turion 64x2, 1gb ram, 120gb hd
Packard Bell MX37 - Pentium Dual Core, 1gb ram, 80gb hd
HP G6000 - AMD Athlon 64x2, 2gb ram,120gb hd
