New laptop

[Ian Leach]

Thinking about getting a new laptop as wife is commandering mine for a course she is starting:sad:. I'm looking at the samsung NC10 10" has anyone got one and would they reccommend it, it will mainly be used for internet (Arbtalk) and a few documents.

I have an Acer aspire one good little netbook, mines a year old now but still works well, the new model looks just as good.

I've got an NC10, its a good all round machine, only had one problem with it, the screen broke, i used to take it with me to work, i may have damaged it then, there was no marks on it or anything, i sent it back, they couldn't find any dints either so they replaced the whole machine. Haven't had a problem since, well except my mum, keeps taking it. I'd recommend it. I think Mr Bullman owns one aswell, maybe he can chime in with his thoughts

I'd recommend the samsung. I'm using it now and its very reliable and ultra transportable. It can handle quite a bit for such a small processor and memory and the bluetooth is really handy for getting pics from your mobile. A couple more people on here have the nc10. How much are they now?

[Ian Leach]

There about £330 now on average, some places cheaper some more

First place I always look before buying any new PC hardware (I'm the IT Geek here remember!) is PC Pro's website. They do a thing called the A List, which is their current best product in all their chosen categories, e.g:

 

Best Budget Laptop

Best 19" TFT Monitor etc

 

It's well worth a look and is always a good place to start.

If youre spending £300ish, you could get a full size laptop, unless you want the long battery life and portability.

 

I have a bog standard Dell I bought from Tesco for £275 for all my work stuff. Keeps the Macs free for the fun stuff.......

Always a Mac, everytime a Mac!! Mac invented 'user friendly'. Just like a pair of Stretch Airs, once you've had one, you won't want anything else!!
