Im trying to buy a laptop.

Right. This could be a tough one.. seeing as my price is low but my needs are high.

My budget is £300

I know laptops are not for gaming, but that is one of my primary needs. Id quite like one that can play pretty much any game around at the moment so a nice amount of ram, and a good graphics card.

Also at least 40gb of disc space.

Needs to ship from UK.

That has covered all of the things i know about hardware, but Im sure you are all experts So use your knowledge in judging the other aspects of the laptop.

I would really appericiate any suggestions on this topic.

Thanks!

 

According to your budget and needs you can go in for Dell Inspiron e1405 for $699 (370.864 GBP)

Although its a little over priced for your budget, but its a really nice config.

you really have lot of free time on your hand sumit, don't you?

 

Im afraid I cannot go £1 over 300

 

Do you think i typed all that stuff?

Its copy/paste. I am gadget freak and i keep track of things of my interest, this just happened to be one of them.

Even you have a lot of free time on your hands, posting messages like these.

Forum is about helping others, isn't it?

 

I appericiate you trying

 

Forget about a gaming laptop with that budget.

 

Sumit, you copy and paste then don't give credit, tsk tsk http://slickdeals.net is where I watch for a good laptop deal, be patient, check twice daily and you will get what you want for that amount.

 

I am not copy/pasting some unique content on website, its just a laptop config, ts available on zillion websites, the same info.

slickdeals.net is from where i got this info, i check it daily as well (3-4 times), i did not provide the link just for the reason this guy was from UK and a US site would've been of no help to him.

Anyhow, seems like helping people is difficult these days.

*Note to self: Don't help people, you will end up getting criticized*

 

Don't worry about it Sumit, some are just axxholes. A simple hey can you provide a link to where you got the info from would have been appropriate.

Laptop configs have been pasted on here before w/o giving a link, I've done it many of times including for the 2 new Dell notebooks I bought a couple months back. Some people

I do however think he was joking, I hope so at least

 

Yes, I was being sarcastic... thus the smilies

 

kind of figured

 

Thanx for your words. I wanted to even post th discount coupons for this guy (which accounted to a total of $100) along with the link for purchasing this laptop, but since he said he only needs to buy this from UK, so i did not.

Ohhh.... I did not notice that, sorry about the comments.

 

so i am wundering ..is it possible to have a laptop like KIbeth stated for 300 bones....well i guess thats pounds but stilll.......i am in the market for one as well.......

 

Yup, keep an eye on slickdeals.net, you'll find one.

 

Hi KIbeth, if you are looking for an inexpensive laptop, consider going through this informative article on buying a cheap laptop at http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/cheap-laptop.html.

 

Yes, I saw most of your postings were of providing relative information for needy members. Thanks for your time. Though Iam not regularly posting here but I read a lot. There are few members who always starving for helping others. You are one of them. Keep the good work going on!

With the budgets and specs you are looking for, the best place for you to buy a laptop is Craigs List. There are not many stores that will over a laptop with those specs for that price, but you should be able to find a used one.
