laptop recs please

Not sure if you've got any bigger Tesco near you but they've got some really good offers on. Not sure on particular models though. Might be worth having a look...?

My laptop is an acer but it's a couple of years old now.

I had a compaq one, packed up after 18 months. Not sure what the new one is, but its as good a spec as the new ones, and it was £279 refurbished one from pc world online.

I've got a Toshiba Equim good spec and easy to use.

This looks like a good deal with Black keyboard:

I just got an Acer laptop yesterday from play.com - £299 on offer reduced by £200. It has a black keyboard but not sure of all the spec but maybe worth a look.

I've got this one

Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 2515 from Tesco although paid a little bit more for it a couple of months ago.

very fast compared to my old desktop.

Tosiba are good - both me and H2B have them. We got them from comet or currys (can't quite remember now !) but they do web deals that are £100 cheaper than the shop. They are about £400/£450

Jo recently wanted a new latop so she could "edit pictures in the garden" over the summer months ?

Ended up getting one from the Toshiba Outlet at Cheshire Oaks (near Ellesmere Port, Cheshire).

Spec was somthing like 17" screen, 2g memory, 160gbyte hard disk. Total Cost £399.00

Works great, nice and quick, not very portable as 17" widescren but a great editing machine and internet machine.

Anything Toshiba. Only one that hasn't packed up on me. H has had his for 4 years.

Thanks guys

after a lot of deliberation have decided to go with a Compaq (HP)....£379....I liked the Toshiba, but too expensive for me

so hopefully I will be hitching from the comfort of my sofa pretty soon
