Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a quad core i7 and was wondering does anyboady know of a better offer than this:http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Lenovo-G500-Intel-i7-3612QM-4GB-RAM-1TB-Radeon-HD8750M-USB3-0-/331070914917?pt=DE_Technik_Computer_Peripherieger%C3%A4te_Notebooks&hash=item4d155d4165

I am aware that I will have to buy a uk keyboard and change it myself and I already have a uk plug for the PS.

Im looking to spend around 650 and dont mind if its refurbished or second hand.

Thanks

I'm looking for the exact same thing. Was looking at saveonlaptops as they've had good prices;

this one was perfect http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/LENOVO-Z500-59399413_1492687.html , I think someone on this forum got one, the price was £538 (~<€650) 2 weeks ago but has now gone back up

this looks decent and should be well below budget, however only has integrated graphics: http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/ACER-E1-NX.M09EK.037_1478219.html

The Lenovo ultrabooks are around that budget on that website too, however only have dual core i7s (http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/LENOVO-U410-59399422_1507572.html). There's another U410 that's a little bit more pricey with a worse graphics card, but bigger HDD and a SATA in there too.

They'd all have English keyboards & Windows 8 included (which your one doesn't have....though that doesn't really matter too much to me as I'd want Windows 7 regardless)

I didn't really answer the Q, but there's a few options anyway and perhaps someone with a bit more knowledge than myself can point out if any of them seem a better choice or not!

Cheers for the options revz. I'd still go for the German one and I have a spare copy of windows 7 around the place. That first one is nice looking if only the price was still at that price
