Laptops

[Recursion]

I'd buy today with those x2 deals.

ok so, ive picked my laptop i think; Dell Studio 17. The basics are:

Intel® Core™ i5-520M (2.4GHz, 4 Threads, turbo Boost up to 2.93GHz, 3MB cache)
500GB HDD
4GB RAM
17" Screen
Backlit Keyboard


I cant remember if theres anything else. That comes to a total of £788 in total, even after discounts and stuff. Is this reasonable?

also, when would be the best time to buy from them. Ive used a 5% discount code which ends today, as well as there £160 off deal which ends tomorrow. Any advice?

I remember reading that if you use the site http://www.quidco.com/ you can get some money back through cashback (7% I think it is) I would probably buy it today if you can!

no apple products please too expensive. prefer the price point around £500-£800

Can't you add like an extra £49 and get a macbook?

If its for Uni why do you need such high spec? Even if you wanted to view TV on it that wouldn't require more than a normal £300/£350 one from PC World.

Save your money for when you need to pay off your Uni debts, or a lovely 32" Samsung TV to play the aforementioned 360 & PS3 on.

Basically, It's gonna be a desktop replacement. At home and at uni. So I'd prefer it to run pretty well, with good specs.

I have now been looking at Sony vaio's, which seem pretty good, and on the slightly cheaper side too. Dell wouldn't give me 320gb, with a blue case and 4gb memory. Was ridiculous. I'd have had to pay more, for less!

Vaio's are good laptops the bad side is if you break them you have to send them back to sony and it'll cost a bomb.
