i dont know about u .. but a grand is a bit too much for me for a laptop .. its just like buying a car .. depreciation after driving out of the showroom and more within one year .. so id go for a second hand or a refurbished one .. i got my ibm t60 last year .. i know its a little old .. but who cares as long as its a laptop .. i know t60s were the first ones which lenovo started making .. but its still more reliable than any of the acers or toshibas in the market .. and yeh the small screen size is jst amazing .. abviously ibms come with heavy duty chasis as well as water channels in case of a spillage .. i would recommend going to this website ..
http://www.studentcomputers.co.uk their refurbished laptops come in really good condition .. and on top their customer service is grand .. iv already purhased 2 laptops from there and i would go for more .. u can get an old refurbished ibm from there for 1/4th the price ur willing to pay .. besides its like owning an old porche than a new toyota :-p On Sun, Mar 28, 2010 at 8:28 PM, Stewart Robertson <[email protected] > wrote: > "Whats your budget?" > > £1000 absolute maximum, preferably less. > > Sometimes the 'buy it cheap and chuck it away in a couple of years' > approach makes sense.
