Ok, on the 9th of January, im going to buy a new laptop (pay day!).
Ive narrowed it down to these 3, based on a few things, one of them being of course budget -im limited to about £700 tops.
For around that money, they all have 3-4gb of ram, all have 2g+ dual cores, all have reasonable hard drives.. but the important thing is, they all have dedicated graphics cards.
Im curious to know if anyone has one of these, and if faced with this decision, which one would you buy?!
I mean....
Dell's are great, but come in at that budget at a lower spec than the other two, but ive heard of great build quality, and service.
The HP has an awesome spec, and is cheap! Plus coupled with the fact it has the best graphics card out of the three, a 9600GT!
The Samsung is also very well reviewed, and having a 5 hour battery life and a 9600GS graphics wise it isnt far off the HP.
So what would you choose?
A bit about me...
I love to game, so gaming is a priority for me. I would use the laptop for about 2 years before buying another.
I do bring a laptop out and about, but honestly, not a *huge* amount, they tend to just sit in my office.
Any tips, or suggesttions would be lovely!
Quick rundown of the specs:
Samsung: http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Samsu...UK/version.asp
HP: http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/pro...81/HP-DV5-1010
The Dell, is pretty much the same spec, except a 8600 GT w/256mb DDR2 Ram. ... and priced around £720.
