Asus X51RL-AS499C Laptop X51RL-AS499C From Laptops Direct
was looking for a new laptop for a friend and stumbled upon this..(the link above)
i was thinking its a good deal, as she only wants a 15 inch screen, wont be gaming and has a decent core 2 duo chip with 2gb ram.
what do u guys think?
cheeerz
I'd get a Dell. User's rating wasn't very impressive on that.
A cheap laptop is only going to disappoint.
Order a Vostro if cash is the main concern, otherwise the Inspiron is still a good choice.
Toshiba and Compaqs are nice, but very difficult to order to the exact spec you want.
Toshiba's below £400 will dissapoint you in terms of quality.
So tacky and horrible to use. The vostro is a fantastic laptop :)
£530 now gets you,
2.4GHz Penryn Core 2 Duo,
3GB or RAM
250GB HDD
8600GT
True life screen.
Add £100 and you get 3 years onsite warranty :)
I know thats not in budget or anything but I already have two decent laptops and I still want that thing :D
but i have to log in as a business customer to view the vostro on the dell website
does that mean i have to be a business customer???
Nah, loads have ordered them for home. Works fine and you don't need to supply any business details. It's all legit. You just have to remember all prices are minus-VAT until you get the checkout. :)Quote:

Honestly you can buy them no problem. My mate has one and was quite honest over the phone that he was a home user.
Anything they sell on their site is available to buy, it's just directed at different people :)
