anybody have any of these?
At the moment im looking at the toshiba, but cant find any reviews for this exact model.
im gonna be using it for my graphic design course starting in September and it seems like it has all the specs i need, 4GB RAM, ATI graphics card.
the processor is AMD Phenom II Triple Core P820, but i dont really know anything about proccesors, i assume this one would be fine?
I've spent DAYS, weeks, trying to find something and it seems like this may finally be the solution. i'd previously been looking at the Dell 1546 http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/dell-i...867&xtor=AL-50 and HP's G62-A20SA http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/HP_G6...urce=LDfroogle
i was kinda put off these as HP is meant to have real heat issues, and apparently the dell has some too due to its AMD Turion™ X2 RM-74 Dual-Core Processor, that apparently gets hot?
i know all laptops get hot, but id like to avoid anything that gets too hot risking the laptop.
also i was told the hp has a fairly weak graphics card,ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4250 Graphics. now i know this wouldn't be much good for gaming, but wouldn't use it to game ever, only photoshop, illustrator etc.
to me the Toshiba seems to be winning over the dell and hp with its slightly higher graphics card-and also their reputation for build quality and reliability(?)
if anyone has any feedback on any of these models, i would be greatly appreciative, or any other suggestions of laptops (£400-500)
kind of coming to my wits end trying to find something! i keep seeing things that look ok, but then find something about them which lets them down an puts me off them a bit, i just what to get the best for my money and spend it wisely.
thank you!!
