Heyyy,
I'm going on a graphics course next year thats going to be very demanding on a laptop, and I'm looking at buying one as cheap as I can really (Under £700) and so far I've only come up with one that might actually be up to it for a good price. Im interested to know if anyone knows of any websites where I can get a cheaper laptop or better spec for not much more than I'm paying now.
The course involves using 3DsMax, Cinema 4D, Adobe Photoshop etc. all highly demanding programs.
At the moment it seems I'll be purchasing from www.pcspecialist.co.uk (which I have purchased from before with no problem)
Spec :
Display
15.4 INCH WIDESCREEN DISPLAY (1440 X 900)
Processor (CPU)
INTEL® Core 2 Duo T8100 (2 X 2.10GHz) 800MHz FSB/3MB L2 Cache
Memory (RAM)
4GB CORSAIR DDR2 667MHz - LIFETIME WARRANTY! (2x2GB)
Operating System
64 BIT WINDOWS® VISTA HOME PREM SP1 (inc CD & Licence) (£59)
Memory - Hard Disk
250GB SERIAL ATA II HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (5400rpm)
Graphics Card
512MB GEFORCE 8600GT + D-SUB + TV-OUT
Does anyone know of cheap laptop websites or other reccomendations?
Thoughts and suggestions appreciated!
