Hi there im looking to buy a labtop for college and personal use and came across this :

http://www.elara.ie/productdetail.aspx?productcode=ECE2291857

Just wondering what anyone thinks about it ? Good value or not ? Also would need a light enough labtop if i was taking it in and out of ccollege often , is 2.6 kg reasonable ?

Mods if this is in the wrong forum sorry ! Looked the most suitable

thanks !

Hey Conor,
Just wanted to let you know that if you decide to get this laptop, try http://www.littlewoodsireland.ie/compaq-cq57-366sa-core-i3-4gb-ram-320gb-hard-drive-156-inch-laptop/1053807096.prd (scratch that, Its out of stock, but u can check and see if there are others at a decent price that u can get a discount on)

If you use the 23F4B code you can get 20% off too, there is a thread going on with littlewoods discount codes that I got this from. Will work out cheaper with that code... (provided it still works)

This HP laptop has less memory but is almost €100 cheaper, from PowerCity: http://powercity.ie/?par=10-30-CQ57420&pages=1&prod=CQ57420&brands=COMPAQ&image=

No

This is not a good value I'm afraid

Battery should last you up to 8 hours on that Lenny
