Sub £650 Laptop better than these....

Klytus · 27 May 2007 at 11:25

I'm getting a laptop which will be used for storage, Internet, light gaming, watching DVD's, wordprocessing etc. I have got a budget of ~£650 and so far I have come up with three in that price range:-

1 - Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro V3505 T7200.
2 - Toshiba Satellite Pro A120-185.
3 - Dell Latitude D820 (Refurbished)
(sorry no links)

All have T7200 C2D CPU, 15.4" screens, at least 100GB HDD (Amilo Pro has 120GB) and 1GB RAM (DELL has 2GB). I have found the fuji for around £600 + p&p the other two are just over £650 + p&p. At the minute I am heading towards the Amilo Pro. Are there any other makes/models with similar spec in this price range that you can recommend?

I like the look of the Dell Inspiron 6400. You can get some nice discounts if you ring up the Dell sales.

My vote is for the Dell 6400 inspiron, + if you get the bigger battery option it will give you 6 to 8 hours use on the batt.

Thats how long my Dell 6400 lasts on the battery, very impressive.
