It's so damn confusing when you have prices like this.

Adding a larger hard drive and some more ram would cost a darn sight less that 750 quid that the difference is.

to be honest laptops arnt my thing and they cant provide the true power that i would be needing

so for me I cant give you any worthwhile input on what is your desire of speck of a machine that your wanting

but for me those prices seem like your paying through a con when the machine is 1-2 years old before you start to use it at brand new prices

sorry its how i rate laptops as there released in usa before they are released here in the uk the model is based on a 1-2 year old machine

It's the old age thing if it seems too good to be true it probably is.

I thought I knew what I was looking for but when someone mentioned that an i5 can still outperform an i7 depending on speed of it.

So this morning I thought I would grab a reasonable 300 quid laptop just to use for 18 months till my second pension kicks in.

But as prime finishes at midnight I am not sure now.....obviously previous price quotes are designed to catch people with impulse purchases....everyone likes to think they have got a bargain.

On the basis my HP pavilion 10 year old DV6 is (was) fine until it won't run the latest cura. If it were not for that I would be waiting a while. But my wife has authorised a new laptop for our 40th wedding anniversary this year so not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. I reasoned the go ahead. Prime discounts and interest free credit through pay pal or barclays pay PLUS if its crap I can send it back free of charge.

But I do realise you get what you pay for usually. Lol

you just have to make sure it excepts the new ssd 3 hard drive ( nvme )

as goes for memory do you really need an extra 4 gb memory wait a while and i bet you could install your own 2 sticks in it for much less in 6 months or a years time

One thing I wll say is that 15.6" display are relatively easy to replace, from my experience, having done a couple. However the screen has it's own firmware which needs matching. Oddball sizes are trickier. Probably on my 10th + laptop over many years. Had Dell, HP, Acer, Packard, Toshiba, IBM but the build quality of Lenovo is a winner for me. I just whizz the Win drive out and put my Linux SSD in and go from there.
Desktop server also Lenovo. Personally I would not go for a high performance laptop, get rather warm as there's no space.
I buy 2nd hand nowadays and haven't come unstuck (yet)
I suspect that the Amazon ad difference is not just for the 12gb but also for a higher spec processor?

 

[ukracer]

I just remembered I paid for winto USB a while back. I will try that.

JUst a heads up for any one buying winto USB from hasleo . It only runs on two computers and if you get a new computer its not transferable.

 

[ukracer]

laptop i bought was 150 2nd hand

its worth it but been looking for months and i know what im looking for there aree so meny people selling laptops for stupid money i5 2nd 3 and 4th gen units (and others) with win 11 on it so thats not original as i think they need to be 8th gen or higher and haver some thing in the bois to accept win 11 there are work arounds but its not right

Someone in the forum posted they had one from a decent seller on ebay but when I looked he had none listed.
They replied he was on holiday and he would list more when he back.
But I can't remember who he was or even the poster of that message.

 

[ukracer]

I'v got a few machines sitting around running happily 24/7 in win7 I prefer win7 to win10 tbh

Have you have to install win 7 from scratch recently?
I am finding its an absolute minefield...

 

[ukracer]

as goes for buying a laptop im going for money back if faulty and a guarantee

so its either a second hand laptop shop cex or the cash generator or its laptops direct for me

its at this point i have to decide what i want the machine for for me its video films and simple games as i only need it for traveling and a holiday

https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/ct/laptops-and-netbooks/laptops/refurbished?itemsPerPage=48&sortOrder=1

i ended up with this myself ample enough for me

View attachment 406425
thats when i tried windows 10 and hated it but it connected to the big screen and allowed internet usage and simple games yeah they was others
i upgraded it with a new ssd then daughter wanted something that didnt chew power like a pc, screen and speakers so gave it to her

Anyone know how to search cash generators to limit the search to local shops.

I have been looking but keep find potential candidates and when I look they are miles away.

It was me and seller is.....https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/marioscomputers4u
But he's away until 18th. A real decent seller, certainly was with me. I have no affiliation. Just occasionally you find oldworld courtesy.

Dell Inspirons and Latitudes are the workhorses of the IT industry.
Not particularly sexy but they get the job done, are very reliable and there will be drivers and spares available for years.

The next step up is the Dell XPS but they are serious money, even second hand.

I like the sound if the Dell but its on auction. I am tempted by the only one on BIN but it only has a 240 hard drive.
(Although I have a spare 500 anyway.)

Just something telling me to wait but one of the others is already over 200 on auction.

If someone I knew had this I would buy it. Just not keen on spending that much money on something I don't know the history of.

The XPS seller sounds like a bit of a insert-four-letter-word-here... Also, if you don't need a touchscreen then probably not worth paying more for the XPS.

As for the Asus, batteries in laptops often need changing after 3-5 years so I wouldn't let this put you off as long as you planned to run it permanently off the mains, or were comfortable changing the battery (and assuming it's priced to suit!)

Yeah I have purchased a fair number of batteries in the past.
I am waiting for the Asus guy to come back off holiday to go and see it.

Never had a touch screen so I doubt I need one lol. Do I want one probably but not at a high price. Lol
