Hi all

I want to buy a laptop and I have been considering different options, I do not know much about laptops or computers in general so if you can help me in my choice that would be great!!

The amount of money I want to spend is between 400-500 pounds, and these are the most interesting laptops I saw yesterday at that price:

-HP Compaq 6720s *£429,95*
Intel Core 2 Duo, 1.6 Ghz
1 GB DDR2 SDRAM
120 Gb HDD
Windows Vista


-Toshiba Intel Dual Core *£500*
1.46 Ghz, 2 GB (2 x 1024 Mb) DDR2 SDRAM
120 GB HDD
Windows Vista

-Toshiba Satellite PRO L40 *£398*
Intel Core Duo 1.46 Ghz
RAM> 1024 MB DDR2

-HP-530 *£400*
Intel Core Duo, 1.83 Ghz, 1024 MB DDR2
120 GB HDD
Windows Vista

Thank you very much in advance!

The HP 530 is well the best value, if you get that one you might want to buy another 1gb of ram (about £25) to make vista run more smoothly.

and one more word of advice, go for xp instead of vista if you can because it will save u alot of hassel.

If it's not to late for you, check out the HP 6720 on ebuyer for £299.

I just bought one for my parents, lovely machine - apparently needs the extra 1GB RAM upgrade though.
