Need a techy's input
Never had a laptop, need one for uni.
I'd prefer one with XP due to the horror stories of Vista and never having tried Linux before. Only other spec: cheap! Oh and must have a decentish memory for uni work. Can I get someone-in-the-know's opinion on this one? Buy Fujitsu-Siemens Esprimo Mobile V5535 Notebook Celeron M 550 2.0GHz 1024MB 120GB 15.4 inch WXGA TFT DVD±RW LAN WLAN Vista Business (SiS Mirage 3+) VFY:V5535MPBC1GB £298.81 - Oyyy.co.uk |

Re: Need a techy's input
comes with Vista but only has half teh RAM needed to run it. fine if you are going to bin Vista and install XP but if not budget another 30-40 quid for a RAM upgrade.
Won't play even oldish games like Half life as teh graphics chip is rubbish at 3D. whilst you are looking for "uni" now you need to consider what its going to be doing as well. Abysmal battery life, if they quote 1.2 hours expect 45 mins tops. Not really a good laptop IMHO. I know you haven't a lot to spend but I think this would seriously disappoint you. Acer Acer Aspire 5720 - LX.AVG0X.177 Laptop from ShopAcer.co.uk - LX.AVG0X.177 Thats better, still not brill on teh Gfx chip but a lot better than teh SIS one on your example |
