Atasas Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 hmhm... learning now, that £250 is not enough for a decent new notebook :shock:now began to look for a refurbished or even in to lappy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyo Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Do you travel a lot and need it while not being at home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atasas Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Quite a bit, as did found myself "in a desert" without some Internet access (apart from phone) when travel. Even at home, some days, just can't be bothered to turn grand-gran daddy to check e'mail etc. To build another Lappy as done before... could would, but lazy for all of the palava lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr1xsel Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Atom not worth it ( unless you want it to take less space ), cheapest and best netbook with avarage battery life in Europe is with good enough AMD e350 CPU instead slow Atom <- bad CPU+GPU, wait for 2013 then maybe Atom better. In my country I can get 1. ASUS NBX53U 2. ASUS X53U 3. ASUS K53U which are 300-400 Euros. <- you would get more speed, more hardrive and ram space but probably you would need2 install Windows7 yourself which isn't that hard. Hopefully 64bit mode would squeeze more speed out of it depending on programs you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atasas Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 yeh.. I hear what you say-still kinda buying something as I know it will struggle, I'd remind, that nearly accepting a bit of a slower sys for the sake of portabilityI have considered (just for a short while) to wack together one lappy myself, but then dragg unnecessary weight of Rom drive and have need for a electric plug excessively... :think:kinda betterhttp://www.ebuyer.co...ok-lu-sft02-081 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyo Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I didn't understand everything you said Atasas, but if you don't need this on the road, why bother with portable? Get the fastest desktop components your money can buy, assemble yourself to save money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atasas Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 still looking..above one- all is well, but open box :think: same specs almost as Acer 2 Posts above and funnily enough don't like the look of it, but then its a Lenovo- better name for such "machines" :think:if to be sensible and go with 10" screen, Atom might be near enough for most uses and definitely enough for Facebook , Youtube and e'mail'ing, while the price less of 2/3'rds of bigger stuff... is it worth that much money?http://www.bestbuy.c...1gb-memory.aspx (gone)http://www.overclock...rodid=LT-063-DE(on a cheap, as what that was meant to be)Or as to go big timehttp://www.cclonline...-Box-/NOT2530X/http://www.ebuyer.co...ok-lu-sft02-081choices, choices, choices...

Atasas Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 I'd try the HUKD approach, if your not in a rush. ;)Funnily enough I've dug up an old account- posted one of the last finds and lurking still on... problem with that sort of advice(not that I need one) specs get overlooked/not discussed as in member advice form, so might get "cat in a bag" or a lemon in a form as too weak processor or not new or else irritationNo real rush, I'll sneak around for a while before buying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avmad Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The comments soon point out the lemons on there. Don't worry about that :D I got my laptop from here http://www.dell.co.uk/outlet a few years ago. Paid about £600 when it was in the store for over £900. From what I could tell it was brand new. But it also took a while to grab what I wanted. Not sure if they have what you want but worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr1xsel Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Try to make up yur mind, size, capabilities you want it to have, time to buy and it's price your willing to pay. Buying just for looks and regretting what slow outdated stuff you bought next year wont be good at all. Sad that Europeans can't get new cheap stuff directly from China's factories and gotta envy whats available atm in US.Got bad experiences with Dell myself, grandmothers laptops OS - Vista made by Dell didn't wanna update itself to sp2 and manual install ruined it and when I changed default account name then all her files where gone after 3rd restart lol, didn't wanna rename OS's Dell admin account name it seems.

Atasas Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 well as for meh mind... nobody (even me) dont get it Pconsidering as how massive the difference in a price betwee £260- £160 kinda makes you think as really do you need powerful second netbook/lappy? and dilemma dont end there, matter of price falling as for item, that is just falling off "trendy" shelf.Really, when you are home, how many times do you rip movies/ work on libraries or photos? even less on a secondary machine, so specs are not worth chasing after.? looks/battery life turns to be as important for such device.As for US- dude! you always get better deals- stop complaining! :angry:as for myself, still looking, just not relying too much on HUKD as reliant on somebody else to find you such deal, means you going to find it second... or it will expire just before you got to the checkout.Let me help you, to help me, to get even more confused :confused:http://www.ukclearancecentre.co.uk/cheap-laptops-from-99-pounds/280-hp-tc4200-wifi-laptop.htmlhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B0048074UM/ref=dp_olp_refurbished?ie=UTF8&qid=1320056044&sr=8-3&condition=refurbishedhttp://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5086380/c_1/1|category_root|Office%2C+PCs+and+phones|14418968/c_2/2|14418968|Laptops+and+Netbooks|14419039/c_3/3|cat_14419039|Laptops|14419040.htmhttp://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5072617/c_1/1|category_root|Office%2C+PCs+and+phones|14418968/c_2/2|14418968|Laptops+and+Netbooks|14419039/c_3/3|cat_14419039|Laptops|14419040.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted October 31, 2011 Administrator Share Posted October 31, 2011 The UK Clearance Center is a really old model and they make some strange claims.Both the Argos ones are Netbooks.The Amazon one is by far the best option of those.

Atasas Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 yeh.... but, no.... but...I'm still after netbook and new (batteries/size/dvd rom drive issues)- portable simple machine is I will go for, none the less deals found so far are soooo much better, than what would be offered for somebody looking of a cheaper alternatives in high street shop (or even evilBay)few more being cosideredhttp://www.expansys.com/acer-aspire-one-d255e-13dqkk-netbook-windows-7-starter-1-66ghz-1gb-250gb-10-1-black-217762/http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Lenovo_S100_Netbook_In_Black__M65D2UK/version.aspI know lappy, but well worth ithttp://www.expansys.com/acer-acer-travelmate-celeron-netbook-bundle-with-windows-7-home-premium-64-bit-220066/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elohelomg Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 you know, i'm pretty sure no where along the lines of me asking for some "deal" sites that are US based was there any form of complaining. Just because the states have better deals (assuming it is true), doesn't mean I want to spend more than I have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted November 2, 2011 Administrator Share Posted November 2, 2011 Whatever you do, do it really fast or wait more than few months. Read this. It's just a trailer, lots of manufacturers are having or are going to have a real had time getting HDDs because of Thailand floods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted November 2, 2011 Administrator Share Posted November 2, 2011 It's your decision. My sis is asking for a cheap netbook from more than 6 months. She says all the people in the court have them / use them to make papers. I tell her that she can get one when it's really really needed, as in, when she starts practicing herself. She really doesn't need one right now, has no important use whatsoever. Just giving an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
