need your advice on a lap top that kandyfloss seen today at tescos and we dont know what all of this means, right guys are you ready need to pick your brains, put price down to see iff it is a good buy, here goes

:confused:

Acer Aspire 363A
WLMi
15,4 screen. 1024 MB Ram
60 G B Hard Disk Drive
Dual Layer DVD Rewriter
Wi Fi Certified
Windows xp
Intel Celerun Microprcessor 380

A lot of this means nothing to me in other words havnt got a clue.
Oh and the price is �£499-94p

 

hi beefy thanks, is that the one amd turion 64 mobile ml 30 processor for �£799 or the cheaper one or there is a dearer one

 

I got an Acer Travelmat 2313 from www.laptopsdirect.co.uk. It cost a little under �£500 and has 526mbRam. I only wanted it for workshop presentations but since have found I'm using it nearly all the time as it's easier than going upstairs to boot up the big ol' steam engine!!

 

No, it didn't for me either! Should've checked it, sorry! Here it is again:

(That one works!!)

 

michlemasdaisy hasnt worked for me either this page cannot be found ,is what it says.
Thanks beefy will have a look at that site again

 

That acer for �£585 is that not the same one thats in tesco for less than �£500 michaelmasdaisy :eek:

 

Don't suppose it will be - there's a million or so different ones on the market here and there, rosa!!!

 

i have bought a acer laptop in tesco's just before christmas, and sold it to our scooby founder and he luvs it......i bought a ferrari laptop from acer and its awesome........i have recommended to my customers to buy the acer laptop from tesco's as i believe you get an extra 1 years warranty.

Acer = thumbs up from PC Medic.

great value.

 

Thanks pc medic and everyones input, will have a look at the acer lap top, it seems quite a few members have got this particular make and comes highly recommended.
What is the difference with this ferrari lap top from acer

 

the ferari laptop is expensive and very powerfull...comes with many features....

see below.

ferrari laptop

 

just had a look they look very nice, will have to think whether i want to spend as much as that on a lap top with having this computer at home, iff i needed it for working would be worth pushing the boat out and buying an expensive one, for the times i will be using one is pretty short term, unless i get rid of this one that i have and buy a lap top to use instead of. Got a lot to think about. Thanks pc medic

 

Hesitate to add my tuppence worth, but...

I'd give PC World a swerve and do like Marley F suggests and think about Dell (excellent reputation and after-sales service).

You also really need to sit down and think about what you want to do with a laptop. If emailing, wireless connection and basic computing is all you need, you don't need to spend a lot on a real flying machine with lots of bells lights and whistles you don't need.

Another alternative is to look around on the internet for a pre-owned refurbished computer. You'll find several firms offering these and many come with good guarantees.

(Got two Compaq laptops - one cost all of �£25 and the other about �£200 but they do what I need them for and one year-old Dell laptop which I use for wireless connectivity and for taking away in our campervan to watch DVDs and route planning)

 

HI Dave W, I will give it a lot of thought, Just want one for basic e-mailing, logging into gc and other sites and for taking away with me as i cant disconnect this one and take it with me.
Sorry but i had to have a giggle just then when you said bells lights and whistles you dont need, that was so funny. Anyway back to the matter at hand as much as i would like a flying machine you do make a lot of sense, iff i hadnt bought this computer as bought it brand new and had thought about it then i would of just bought an expensive lap top.wished i had so i may just go for a cheaper one.
