Its not just the specs that count though, its the way its put together. There was a recent survey thingy that concluded that computers bought from a local store and put together by them are better quality and value for money than ones from a big store or online. Just one recommendation, NEVER buy from Simply computers! 5years of graphics errors is all ive had!

I would be looking for something over 2GHz personally

As much as I genuinely appreciate all your comments and suggestions... I'm more confused now than when ex BB contestant Nadia turned strangely hot. Not really hot, but doable at least, if she was real of course. I mean she is real... obviously, but a real woman. And I guess biologically she has all the bits a woman should now with no extras, but still...

Anyhow, I digress, forgive my continued bothering, but this is my future FM enjoyment at stake, is this perhaps a better offer?...

Sony Dual Core (you know the one I mentioned earlier)
2gb ram 1.86ghz 533mhz 1mb cache 200gb hard drive

it's a ton cheaper than the dell one, with 0.03 extra on the processor (x2 of course, I've learnt that much!) but less on cache (what the hell is that) but also less on cash (where did that go?). I know essentially I already mentioned the cash decrease, but I saw the opportunity for a cheap joke based on phonetics and I took it. Sue me. x

anyone whos bored wanna shop around and find me the best laptop money can buy, then i can get it from our supplier for half the cost.

I got one of these, 4GB of RAM (of course I only got the 32bit vista so its not using it all, but its nice to know its there!)

Its not the most mlindingly fast machine, but its only 12" so its relly easy carry it around. I have a 17" workstation replacemnt as well, more powerfully, but then size isn't everything :cool:

umm, is that a jibe?

retired_James06

Oh yeah, I didn't exactly pay full whack for it, so its not the cheapest if you're on a budget, but i tend to end up carrying most places.

retired_morren

not a jibe, i actually need a laptop, my pc is poor. only just got back into fm in the last few months. and if im going to get one on the cheap may aswel use the discount and get the best

3GB isn't necessary for just internet surfing and FM. 2GB is more than enough. I have 4GB in my laptop (thats currently broke ) - and only have it because of video editing and data collection purposes. If I didn't do those two things on it, 4GB would be a complete waste.

then my humble apologies sir. xx

3GB isn't necessary for just internet surfing and FM.... </BLOCKQUOTE>

Thats fairly true, but I'm just forward planning. Might as well get 3GB now. And the more the merrier right? Depends how far into the game you get.
