MRX Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I know this crops up quite often but i'm trying to help a friend with buying a laptop. He wants to spend around £500... Can anyone recomend any that are currently at a good price or companies offering good deals? The only requirements are bluetooth and a card reader.

Big Ads Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 There is a good offer on @ PC World now. The ASUS "gaming" laptop. Good spec for £550. It is this cheap tho because it has a HD-DVD player on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/ I used this lot a couple of weeks ago and they were excellent. Got a Fujitsu/Siemens laptop, 2GB RAM and 120GB hard drive, wireless etc for £349.00. Speak to Mark in sales!! H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I got a gateway from Tesco £300. So good my girlfriend got one too. Strongly recommend putting an extra 2GB memory in it if you get it from Tesco. That's only £20 or so and a doddle to put in. Thus £320 in total. 4 in 1 card reader included BUT you'll need to buy a bluetooth dongle. At that price I think its a steal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Harvard thats incredible - is that a new or 2nd hand laptop? Brand new mate!! I like to do a bit of research as I have "large purchase syndrome".... I went into PC world and couldn't find anything near as powerful for under £500...!! H.
