My Acer has packed in once and for all it appears, and I need to make a quick decision so that I can order in the next few hours.

I don't need a gaming laptop, but want something fast and with a huge HDD for all my music and videos etc.

All of the following come with a 2 year guarantee - can you help me make a decision which to go for? thank you!

Out of the 4 the Toshiba has better specs albeit the Pentium Dual-Core. Why don't you just run to Saturn, Maxi Max or Media Markt and pick one up? It's a sale season at the moment.

cheers ...

Just had a quick look on Media Markt website - they are all so expensive. Shitty Acer notebooks for 700 Euro...

And cheapest on Saturn is 600 for a 13inch Toshiba!

Media Markt is not my favourite store for sure. How about Saturn?

See above!

Are you aware of any notebooks better than any of those above that are in my price range?

I'm tied between the HP for 457 Euro and the Samsung for 559... Hmmm..

The Samsung would be the next choice, though I am not too keen with a Core i3 CPU. But I guess for only €60 difference.

So you would choose the Samsung over the Toshiba, or?

Just read some more about the Tosh and it seems very nice indeed... And a saving of 60 Euro, I think it is my #1 choice at the moment

Nope, I would go with the Toshi right of the bag from your choices. Samsung is only for 2nd choice (too bad about the core i3 though)
