cheers

 

better spec for £20 more at comet

It's a nice laptop but i'd be tempted by the dell vostro 1400. Great deals on those at the moment

 

cheers mike, unfortunately we dont have any comet stores over here anymore or i would have went for that one, we only have currys/pc world. Im loosing 40gb ram but nothing i can do. I could have ordered one from comet/dell but i dont trust them sending laptops in the mail.

Im looking for a small travelling laptop that looks great and has great specs, the only laptops that tick my boxes are sony at the moment. They are expensive but you get what you pay for as the saying goes.

 

I love the way it looks!

especially the black one, I have the deep desire to buy one, even though I don't need it at all.

 

woops lol

we have it here,

120GB is upgraded to 160GB
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is upgraded to ATI Mobility Radeon HD2300

but are the features worth an extra £100?

 

I would pay for the dedicated gfx personally but i use my laptops for occasional gaming.

Shame about comet in Ireland i'd have thought they would have been there.

Check out the dell vostro 1400 and xps m1330 before you decide though. Very high specs and some bargains to be had.

 

Are you aware that you moved from a blue one to a red one?

and 2 months waiting if you're lucky.

 

My xps has just been dispatched

has been 60 days though lol

Production is picking up all the time especially on vostros.. some people have had a 3 day turn around from order to dispatched.

 

yeah i like both colours so its all good so is the red one worth the extra money or just stick with the blue?

 

It depends if you need a dedicated Videocard.

Do you play games or do you do 3d design?

 

Yep its a very nice laptop, should suffice for your everday needs. I think the metallic red looks very stylish. Thinking of recommending that one to my mom who's also looking for a new laptop.

 

I would get the $30.00 DVD drive upgrade. It's worth it. I'd also recommend the extra $50.00 for the 2.0GHz processor, but that's just me.

 

neither mate, got my PS3 for gaming

 

then there is no point in getting a dedicated videocard.

Unless you'd want to connect your laptop to a bigscreen monitor and the Ati option has better signal quality. (and i don't know if that is the case).

Also there might be differences in TV out options.

 

The gf just bought one of these, i must say i really do like the keyboard. Feels real sturdy too.

 

i know mate, but i do need a lot of HD space, got loads of files lol

 

if you are a little bit handy you'd better upgrade the harddrive yourself.

You can get a 250GB Samsung M5, very fast drive for 140 euros.

or you can get 160GB 7200 RPM drive even faster.

 

lol not really handy with the technical side of things but are those external USB HDs ok?

 

yeah, they are great, firewire is even beter (if CR supports that)

 

not sure on that one mate will have to look at the specs
