alright so i'm gonna be ordering a new laptop for my birthday but i'm not sure what i should get
the only requirements i have is that it's from www.kandco.com and isn't over £600
i'll give anyone who helps +rep and maybe some credits if you are extra helpful and play habbo
Assuming you're not in need of a gaming laptop, this should do you fine: http://www.kandco.com/lenovo-flex-15...2fb%2f4873%2c9

filter for
i3/i5 - i3 is good, i5 is better but usually at an extra £100
15inch+ screen unless you can bare with anything smaller
7200RPM+ (this is the speed the hard drive wr at) hdd, maybe get one with a hybrid SSD portion (some laptops come with a small SSD hdd with the main hdd, this is usually quite useful, very quick read and write speeds
4-6gb+ of ram - pretty much the standard
_*_*_*_*_ optional _*_*_*_*_ if you want to use it for gaming other than low gfx games i'd recommend looking for one with a dedicated graphics card
the cpu graphics processing should be enough for games like habbo, minecraft etc if not
after that they're pretty much all the same and near the same price boundaries - it's really about looks, reliability and robustness at this point
other than that, just stay away from acer
solid brands are:
ASUS
samsung
lenovo
sony
toshiba
I presonally love the look and feel of samsung, sony and asus laptops
any reason you have to get it from that site? I had a quick look and it doesn't look like theres many good deals
saveonlaptops.co.uk is a good one if you need to look elsewhere
nope just need one that can do basic stuff for college and uni work. i'll look into that one, cheers man!Quote:

Samsung laptops are great, but more expensive for the same power as Lenovo. They do tend to look better though.
ASUS is a company to be wary of IMO when it comes to portable technology. They have a bad track record when it comes to faulty tablets and laptops.

In fact, it is the best laptop brands with windows OS, second to Apple in overall. If i'm not mistaken, it serves for almost 20 years to the users in terms of technology equipment.Quote:

Best laptop brands according to whom? I'd rate Dell, Samsung, Sony, ASUS, Acer, HP above Lenovo.
As of 2013, sorry for not including that.Quote:

Everyone has their own opinion. I shared what i know. :)
I have kandco, so expensive - but easier to pay off.
As mentioned several times, the Lenovo is a great pick.
http://www.kandco.com/sony-vaio-fit-...e%2c1%2fr%2f48 is good for your specified uses.
There's also http://www.kandco.com/hp-pavilion-15...e%2c1%2fr%2f48, but that is only really if you're looking for a touch screen. It does have £200 off, but the only reason for the high price is the touch screen technology.
I'd definitely recommend the Lenova or Sony VAIO.

Dell is awful! Good at first a while - but after a period of time they turn to ****.Quote:
