Evening all.

I've been thinking about one for a while and i've finally decided to by myself a lappy since the PC is slowly going downhill.

I've had a look about and found this : HP 6735s Laptop, AMD AthlonTM X2 Dual Core QL-60 1.9GHz, 4GB memory, 250GB HDD, DVD+-RW SMDL LightScribe writer, Webcam 15.4" WXGA (1280 x 800) WLAN Bluetooth Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium - Ebuyer

Is that good value for the price? All ive really looked at is RAM and HDD, don't know much else!

If not, can anyone reccomend another laptop?

That looks an alright price to me.

I prefer intel processors myself.

Aye had it for almost 2 weeks.

Looks good and is fast as fook compared to my old PC!

All ive really used it for is the internet, word processing and footbal manager but so far its been solid.

Awesome mate, how about Vista, is that as bad as some people make it out to be? I have Win XP on my PC and i quite like it. To be honest, it's the Vista that has held me back...but i want that laptop real bad lol.

Don't think the vista should put you off, it's just a case of getting used to something different.
Don't know if you even get the option of windows xp anymore on packaged computers.

I dont think MS is allowing people to buy licenses for it anymore to be shipped with a new machine, could be wrong about that as there are loads of netbooks using XP.

You should consider an Acer lappy....cheap and yet very cheerful!
