Good deal laptops?

Paft · 03-05-2009, 05:40 PM

Know of a good place(s) to purchase one. Or just a lappy recommendation.

Here in the UK I buy PC gear from Aria which has a selection there: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Lapto...NQZXJQYWdlPSY=

I like the look of the ASUS'
So asides from googling I stumped. I think the MAX I want to spend is £500 but preferably cheaper.

I'm after a modern good performance for general use, videos, everything really expect games so it doesn't need to be a BEAST but pretty damn good, at least a Core 2 Duo.

Spank you

Hmm.. custom builds sounds interesting. What are your view on them compared to company ones? I'm a bit cautious, naive and sceptical particularly when seeing reviews like this.

Thanks

Usually for laptops I go OEM since alot of the custom laptop parts are expensive unless you build a desktop laptop in which case you get a giant taco to carry around. OEM laptops in general are better compared to custom built laptops just due to parts and compatibility, you get a better design, and overall there are plenty of options to OEM laptops. You could also check out places like dell, hp, sony websites and do customized laptops where you can choose what you want in them etc.

As far as desktops, custom build all the way.
