I've decided that I need a new Laptop after my old one totally gave up on me a few weeks back (RIP :bawling:)

I'm not quite sure what to get or where to get it so I thought I'd ask you lot for some advice.

I want a laptop that's Quick, Easy to use, Wireless installed, and Cheap. I don't mind what brand laptop it is but I do like Toshiba's.

Anyone have any ideas? All help appreciated :hugesmile:

Dell seem to be the top option for cheap reliable laptops. Ive just bought a secondhand one but not switched to it yet.

If you like Toshibas get a toshiba.

Buy online from a decent named site or keep an eye for end of line clearances at your local asda, tescos etc.

Don't get a Dell they are extremely expensive to fix if they break. I quite like Compaq.

I got a new Toshiba yesterday, lmao.

This (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toshiba-Satellite-15-6-inch-Processor-SuperMulti/dp/B00336EFZ4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1275864990&sr=8-2) is the one I got.

It's really good. Glossy 15.6in widescreen, Windows 7, fast and easy to use, good WiFi, webcam, touchpad is good, HDMI connection so you can watch your computer screen on your TV, built in speakers aren't bad, and its fans are pretty much silent. Doesn't get hot at all.

Lol :p

It's fantastic, definitely one of the best out there at the moment (for its price). I'd pretty much recommend it to anyone.

Oh, and it takes about a day to get used to Windows 7 (unless you had it before) as it's completely different (and better than) Windows XP, not sure if it's a lot different from Vista as I've never used Vista.

Pretty good for the price. But I do lots of stuff at once on my laptop so the Intel celeron processor would put me off. Not the strongest.
