Finding a decent notebook...
• 1 min read
…is apparently impossible? I just want a notebook with a dual-core x64 CPU (i.e. Turion X2 or Core 2 Duo), WSXGA(+) 14/15.4” screen, reasonable spec which includes some reasonable graphics card. I guess I must be in the minority..
So far I have only found about four matches:
Samsung X60 MWM
- Core 2 Duo T7200 2 GHz, 1GB RAM, 100GB hard drive, 15.4” WSXGA+ screen, ATI Mobility Radeon x1600.
- ~£1100
Samsung X60 HWM
- Core 2 Duo T7400 2.16 GHz, 2GB RAM, 120GB hard drive, 15.4” WSXGA+ screen, ATI Mobility Radeon x1600.
- ~£1430
Acer TravelMate 8215WLMi
- Core 2 Duo T7200 2 GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, 15.4” WSXGA+ screen, ATI Mobility Radeon x1600 .
- ~£1550
Acer Ferrari 5005WLMi
- Turion 64 X2 TL-60 2 GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, 15.4” WSXGA+ screen, ATI Mobility Radeon x1600, HD DVD-ROM.
- ~£1550
The Acer models seem overpriced compared to the (first) Samsung model, £1550 seems like too much. But that’s not exactly the main problem. Did I mention that none of these models are actually in stock on any UK website?
If you have any suggestions for a good laptop model that roughly matches my requirements feel free to leave it as a comment below. Lookout for an update when I buy my new laptop!
