I've been biding my time for the UK January sales (we all know we're ripped off at Xmas), and the laptop that seems the best value for money is this:
HP G70-120EA with blu-ray drive: £469- PC WORLD
Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 Processor (2GHZ, 800MHz FSB, 2MB Cache)
Genuine Windows Vista(R) Home Premium
3GB Memory
160GB Hard Drive
17" Widescreen Display
Blu-ray with DVD
ReWriter Nvidia Graphics 9200 (256MB dedicated)
Wireless Enabled
Built in Webcam
It's got a WXGA high-def screen for the blu-ray, 3gb memory (can this be upped to 4gb if I wanted to?), 2ghz is a good speed I think.
Will this run smoothly and quickly? That's what I want from the laptop. I want good quality screen and images, want the internet to run quickly, and want to play music (although I'll be getting external speakers).
Anyone know if I can use the blu-ray drive to play dvd's through my TV??
Please post any other good deals you've seen, any help will be greatly appreciated.
