[Danny2107]

Hi,
im looking into buying a laptop, but only have a budget of 500 pound. Theres a 1gb Ram Compaq Laptop on the Pc World Website but it only has 128kb of cache. Heres the link: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_pag e.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1175009872.1145641656@@ @@&BV_EngineID=ccdjaddhiilhlgmcflgceggdhhm dgml.0&page=ProductList&category_oid=- 27751&fm=1&sm=1&tm=undefined&s how_all=true
Which one would you recomend and why or if you know any other places to buy a Laptop on a budget please reply!
Thanks in advance.

I would get:

COMPAQ V5030 AMD TURION64 MOBILE PROCESSOR ML-32 1.80GHz LAPTOP

Because its a 1.80ghz and rest are 1.4 or 1.6, this one has a widescreen, dvd -rewriter so you can write files or movies to dvd's. It has 512kb of cache and a 40 GB Harddrive. It also seems popular being a collect @ store item, due to none left for delivery. Its excellent

Its already way better than my �799 Toshiba Satellite laptop
