New Laptop, Any ideas ?

[stuartrw79]

I am looking to buy a new laptop for work purposes only, need to run basic word, excel etc and electrical software currently running Amtech. Only really want a 15

How are you going to keep it charged?

If you want all day then you need a netbook, iPad or Android pad

I can charge in van via inverter, or when iam on site using the charger ?

With netbooks don't you have to use an external hard drive or have they got hd installed

In them ?

My daughter has a Samsung netbook

They have a HDD, some even have Flash drives (no moving parts), but if you want a DVD drive then it has to be USB!

not sure ATM,

but will let you know next week about running software,

Amtech runs fine under ubuntu,

not so sure about easycert, this could make or break my review on them TBH, and also the firm, as their customer service left a lot to be desired.

I bought a new laptop recently, decided what i wanted and had a look round for deals, by far the best deal was ebuyer.com, have a look see mate

Ebuyer do come up with some good deals just bought a few new monitors through them. Last computer came from cosco they seem a bit cheaper than other places.

e.buyer seem to be one of the few places to sell stuff not already preloaded with bloat-ware

A nice dell with 3 year on site warrantyI have a contact for dell seconds / returns if your interested pm me (they come with a full dell warranty but cannot be sold as new due to being opened or having a scratch)

The guy normally has 10 to 20 in stock and they can be from 10 to 30% cheaper than from dells direct www site

Hi Canoeboy, just looking at a Dell for 'er indors' any chance of seeing if there is an Inspiron 17R available? (Normal price 480)

i bought this one 6 months ago for 375, its now 299, I have had absolutely no problems with it. I would recommend samsung laptop as it is good value for money, robust and quick operating, also has numeric keypad and wifi.
