Robwalker Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) My sister just got a decent one from currys for 399.99. Looks really good, havnt had much time to look at it, only downside is that it doesnt come with Office. But that can be sorted out quiet easilly.... Eveything else looks pretty top notch.Ill see if i can find a link.Link Edited November 30, 2006 by Robwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuke Bowel Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Apple powerbook.Apple ibook.Imo I would go for one of them, there looks to be a couple of nice ones on there for around your budget.to be honest, if your going to be wanting it for mainly photo editing mac would be your best choice.

Danny Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Personally i wouldn't touch any mac apart from the intel based ones with a barge poll. After all they claimed a 4x performance increase with the introduction of the intel ones using a bog standard off the shelf intel cpu.

Heatsink Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I picked up the cheapest Dell laptop for less than £400, the Inspiron 1300 (specs vary). I notice there is a wide choice now with all the supermarkets (and Woolworths) offering similar specced ones for the money, so you could pick up one wherever convenient. The mother-in-law bought one from Asda, which I've yet to see.The important features were having the WiFi built in (my mate's got an expensive laptop without it and the WiFi card sticks out vulnerabily), and the DVD/CD rewriter. The biggest screen possible was good too - some had smaller screens. Didn't go crazy on HD or memory upgrades or anything. Laptop runs great for everything I want including using 3D Cad packages for design bike components RobWalkers recommended one has a great sized screen. You're getting more for £400 that ever now Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Personally i wouldn't touch any mac apart from the intel based ones with a barge poll. After all they claimed a 4x performance increase with the introduction of the intel ones using a bog standard off the shelf intel cpu.They also claimed that the old PowerMacs were twice as powerful as any PC or something. So all their stats are to be taken with a pinch of salt. I don't believe for a second that the Intel Macs are four times faster... But yeah they are a lot better.I wouldn't buy a cheap laptop for photo editing though. It'll be so slow and have no space for storage of photos. Better to either save up and get something decent, or just stick with the desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
