i dont really want to give them any money anyway
ill just have a quick peep and i better not be stalked by an over enthusiastic sales man who knows less about laptops than i do

I'd be very sceptical of bargain laptop sales in shops. There's a reason why they're trying to flog off some of their inventory. Used work in one of those stores back in the day and it's a bit of a joke at times.

Some of the cheap ones now in the likes of Currys are just terrible, the plastic they're made of is wafer thin. I'd say you'd have to be very careful with them to get more than a year out of it.

Burro, that Toshiba's spec isn't all that great tbh. It's only a Pentium processor which will result in the 8g of memory being irelavant. Anyway most laptops run perfectly on 4g. 6g if your into your gaming. The processor is more important. Look for at least an Intel i3 or AMD A6 which would be the AMD equivilant. Toshiba's are a generally good make though. There's a great website to buy laptops off called 'Save on laptops'.

thanks, you sound like you know what you are talking about

ok so i can get a samsung with the i3 processor and good memory etc for around 500, what are samsungs like?

my brother has a samsung for about 2 years and he says it's decent

Yeah Samsungs are good. They're fairly affordable. Same with TV's. You would pay another 100 euro more for the same spec in a Sony.
