My uncle works for a IT company in London who is contracted to Deutche Bank. I was asking him about laptops and he says:
- Acer/Dell laptops are ones to avoid as they use other company's cheap components to biuld their laptops
- Hard drives are the most common component to fail as they overheat in laptops
- Always buy from a big name i.e. Sony, HP, Compaq etc
- Spend around 800-1000 quid otherwise as they always have the best and most long lasting components which will last you a good 4-5 years?
edit: Here is some basic wants for my laptop, if anyone can recommend any then that would be great!
- Widescreen, 15.4"(?)
- Play games (nothing intensive, just like Pro Evolution and Far Cry)
- Slim/stylish
My budget is under 1000.
