Laptops > 512 MB Laptops > From 500 GBP to 800 GBP

Advantages: Exceptionally professional, doesn't slow down, no viruses
Disadvantages: White gets dirty, expensive to upgrade or add to

...There is of course the apple store option if you can find one. The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was the pure design of it (after the excellent packaging and manual which was clear and concise). The brilliant white casing, the smoothed edges and the rounded corners made me feel that I was now in possession of a very professional machine. For only £699 (approx.) I felt that I had really been cheeky. The setup process is exceptionally ...
...trying to do. The apple website provides more information on precisely what the battery life is. Problems I have encountered are mainly cosmetic. The colour means that it does dirty quite easily and the front has become scratched so I had to buy a case for it. But its design is exceptionally strong as I have dropped it and it didn't even make a dent, (yes I am clumsy!). Hardware wise it comes with 512 MB of Ram which is enough if you're not going ...

Advantages: Excellent value for money, good spec
Disadvantages: not bluetooth enabled

...that when I compared the Acer to the big boys it offered much much more for the money. The only thing that this particular model doesnt offer is built in Bluetooth but this can be easily solved by purchasing a dongle. It was so easy to set up and i was able to use it immediately, from previous experience this was a blessing and quite refreshing, no sotware cds, anti vrus software to install as it was already pre loaded. I would definitely recommend ... Read review

Advantages: fairly fast, portable, good battery
Disadvantages: havent found any yet.

i know this is no where near the best laptop around or anything and im nto going to bore you with the specs, just my own opinions cause you can get the specs by clicking a couple of buttons yourself. so here goes, i have had this laptop for a while and have found it to be very useful at times, it works like a wonder and for its price its not to bad. im quite happy about this laptop, it will run pretty much anything without stumbling over itself. ...
...trouble playing games nor running high end processor programs. very easy to connect almost anything to it, with plenty of usb 2.0's you can connect almost all high speed devices to it with ease. ashamed to say that i did spill water over it once before and a few keys stopped working for a couple of days, but once i had cleaned it out it worked like normal. if you have any questions or anything you would like to know about this laptop, please dont ...

Advantages: Extremely Portable
Disadvantages: Low battery Life, No keyboard/Mouse included

...is a great product from Samsung and microsoft. I have had mine for 3 months now and love how easy it is to use. The Q1 features a touch screen and seems to recognise all of my very scruffy hand writing. I don't use the dial keys that included and would like the input panel to be transparent but these aren't big problems. Only recently have I discovered that you can teach microsoft voice to recognise your voice and let you control your operating system. ...
...muddle some words up and believes you are saying something you aren't . The Q1 only has a 900mhz cpu, 40gb hdd and 512mb screen and this may seem bad for the price but the other perks totally make up for this mistake. The Q1 also features bluetooth and a mmc card slot. You can also boot straight into av station avoiding the os to play your music, video and photos this is a feature i don't use a lot but it does let you have the functions of a laptop ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, Stylish, and Quick, with good memory.
Disadvantages: Easily scratchable glossy finish, trial version of Office

I bought this Laptop the day it was released and have only had a few bothers with it. Firstly, I would like to say it looks supurb, although I stupidly put it in a bag where something rough was rubbing against the glossy black side of it... And of course you have to keep cleaning that glossy black for it to look good every day! Looks wise, it beats the Mac hands down, and from what ive heard it was made as samsungs challenge to the mac market. I ...
...I got, this seems very good value for money. Fast, light, losts of memory and goodlooking, it does the job. The only hassles ive had is it slowing down when theres some big programs running at the same time, which I guess is pretty obvious. The other is that the CD burner seems to have gone wrong today - but then again I have used this hardware every day since I bought it. All in all, a great buy for the money. ... Read review
