Hi guys just a quick one.

Im thinking of buying this: ADVENT Modena at cheap prices | PC World

I was just woundering if anyone could find a better laptop for the same price?

I dont want it for gaming or anything like that, just for storage, browsing and general usage, the HDMI Port is handy as i do lots of video editing so one point to consider is how it would cope when converting video files etc etc.....if anyone can find anything that has better specs for £350.00 i would be eternally grateful as i dont really know what i should be looking for in relation to specifications.

Thanks

Well, whether intentional or not, you listed storage first - and in today's world 320Gb is not considered that big.

I am not familiar with Advent - I don't think they are sold here in the US so I can't comment on that their quality. The specs seem pretty good for that price. I don't know if you can stretch your budget a little more, but as is always the case, for a little bit more, less than £100, you can get a nicer machine that I think you will be happier. I have the Intel i3-330 in my Toshiba and am happy with that CPU. The T4400 is good too. And with Windows 7 and today's graphics oriented world, and especially with notebook that uses on board graphics, I would recommend at least 3Gb of RAM. And for that price, you can get a 500Gb drive too, and probably a better graphics solution and display. Add another £50 again, and you can start looking at 17inch screens, if they are of interest.

Thanks for the advice =)

So i have been looking at this HP G62-107SA at cheap prices | PC World - And its on sale

I see its got the new i3-330M processor powering it aswell.

Im not really bothered with the screen size as i have to many big TV's in my house anyway lol, and I have an external HDD aswell.

Good deal?

I don't know the prices on that side of the Big Pond so I don't know if a good deal or not. But is sounds like a decent machine - though it does have a relatively small hard drive. Plenty large enough for Windows and all your programs, and not for lots of archiving. But as you noted, you have an external drive for that.

Thanks for your input!
