Laptop buying tips anyone?
6 Answers
I am going to buy a laptop to replace my current desktop PC. It will be used mostly for the internet, typing documents and storing digital camera photos.
I've worked out I'll need at least 512 MB RAM and a 60GB hard drive on the laptop, but can anyone advise me on the processors and which is the best one to go for between the various different ones (i.e. Celeron, Centrino, Pentium, etc)?
Thank you!

If you''re considering a move to the Apple front, then take a serious look at the MacBook: http://www.apple.com/macbook
If you're after a windows laptop, have a look at the dell website and see what you come up with: http://www.dell.co.uk

I personally would suggest you buy a laptop with an Athlon64 1GB DDR & 100GB HD, This should have enough power, speed and graphics to run most current applications. I have a presario r4000 which I use for work which is AMD Athlon64 2.0 GHz CPU, 512 DDR 800Mhz, 60GB HD and it is quite sufficiant for home or office use I bought mine for �700 about six months ago so it should have come down in price, it also comes with a DVD RW and all other lovely little gadgets we techs love...lol
