I saw a couple of laptop on a website for a reconditioned model. I was wondering The Advent 5511, or the ACER 5735-643? That one has a dedicated GPU. Thou so does the PACKARD BELL TN65-T440. What do you recon, please say so asap. Thanks Lee

Um, I'm slightly confused so what a P182 stands for. Could you please tell me what this is, as google does bring up computers. Thou, I'm not sure if you are aming at a specific model, or if you are talking about a processor model?
What an I doing with it. General email, surfing, games (yes i know its lappy), maybe number crunching, encoding etc, as the processor on the advent is quite good from cpu score. Thanks Lee |

That's my signature, it's not part of my post.
Neither are going to play games well at all. The Advent, as far as google is telling me, doesn't have a dedicated graphics card, and neither does the ASUS. I would say your best bet is to buy/build a desktop and have a netbook for mobile tasks if those are your options/that is your budget, but it's unlikely at the prices those laptops are (£430 or so) you'll get away with both. So with the caveat that you're paying for performance that really won't be up to par for the kind of tasks you want to perform (and getting worse battery life, weight, etc for it): the Advent has a slightlymore powerful processor but a worse keyboard and mouse. The Acer has the reverse. It's up to you where your priorities lie.

Yes I did read that about the AdvenT, but I guessed that IT might be personal preferance of people who have written reviews on the product. I have found the Advent for £329.99, with ten pound off with a code, and a 4% cash back thats works out at roughly £12.80. Making the purchase down to £317.19, if all goes rightly.
I know it's grpahic card is crap, and if you wanted a deicated machine to play games, which I hardly play anyway you would be your self a desktop. Having spent frighting amounts on IT equipment, I have negelected to purchase one since 2003. My laptop is an old P4 2ghz with 512 orginaly 256. With Ati graohics i think. Never played games on it really. But it's like anicent doesnt hold charge.Keys knackered use a full size keyboard, usb knackered, work around via card bus. lid catchment broke. Over heats when on carpet, thou i guess thats normal. So I'm lookin at aanything under 250. Cheaper the better, as I might get a new cheap base unit as well. The PACKARD BELL TN65-T440 has a ATi Mobility Radeon HD3430 Graphics card
Can you advise me please? All under 350 |

The TN65-T440 is a good compromise - good build quality, good keyboard, etc. I'd get it of the three.

I think it's worth the slight cost to get the Packard simply because if you end up hating the Aspire's keyboard you're never going to want to use it without a USB keyboard or something. It also seems to be more unlikely to have any problems over the long term.
