LAPTOP OFFERS
This page has a number
of Laptop offers, I try to find the best deals
within a group of well know and trusted manufactures
and suppliers. There are cheaper laptops out there,
but their performance is often poor and their
suppliers less than helpful. The following items
have been hand picked for their combination of make,
specification and value.
| Component Ratings Key |
 |
Excellent - A performance component that will work well no matter what you throw at it |
 |
Good - This is a good component and should perform well under heavier work loads |
 |
OK - There's nothing wrong with this component, just don't expect too much from it |
 |
Poor - This component may under-perform under normal usage |
For additional information see my FAQs on Laptops
INFORMATION
Make sure your
machine has a 1280x800 screen resolution or higher
Try to select systems with a minimum of an Intel
'Core 2 Duo' or 'Core i' processor
2GB of memory is highly recommended, more is
desirable but by no means essential
5,400rpm
SATA hard drives are standard, but 7,200rpm versions
offer better performance
Minimum on-board graphics should be Intel HD/GMA, ATI or Nvidia based graphics
