Amazon Deals of the Week

I'm looking for a mid size laptop and thought this looks like a good deal? I'm not a big techie so would not be sure, maybe I'm wrong £389.

A little more expensive (£449) but 1GB more ram

Not sure if I should be posting on Bargain ALERTS, as I'm asking a question but just wondering if these are indeed bargains for anyone who knows about laptops :rolleyes:

Watch out on the first one, its not sold by amazon themselves so theres a good chance they wont ship it. I think the 2nd one is a far better buy though, appears more modern, probably a better brand, more ram and a bigger hard drive, windows 7 too as opposed to vista, which should probably avoided at this stage unless its an unreal bargain

It should be a decent buy, seeing as its the 3rd bestseller in laptops!

Def wouldnt call it a bargain. Pretty low end from a quick skim.

Thanks for the info. The HP one seems to have good reviews, I would have probably paid the extra for that, I think I may go with it.

I would never buy a HP again.
For reliability, I find the Toshiba Satellites are very robust.

That HP is a low-powered ultra-portable. If you are going to buy it you should be aware that the CPU is very slow - comparable to say a dual core Atom.

Thats not a criticism - it is deliberately low-powered in order to run cool and have a long battery life. But if you are thinking of buying you should be aware that its not a full powered mainstream laptop.
