Hi everyone,
I'm on the lookout for a laptop - I'll be just doing general web-browsing, but I also need a machine capable of 720p/1080p playback and the ability to do video editing.
I've found this (Toshiba Satellite L500-1XC 15.6-inch Notebook: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo) - the Toshiba L500-1XC for £409 @ Amazon.
Here are the specs:
Windows 7 Premium 64bit
type : Intel® Core i3-330M Processor
clock speed : 2.13 GHz
Front Side Bus : 1,066 MHz
2nd level cache : 3 MB
standard : 2,048 MB
maximum expandability : 8,192 MB
technology : DDR3 RAM (1,066 MHz)
320GB
TruBrite® HD TFT High Brightness display with LED backlight with 16 : 9 aspect ratio
Intel® HM55 Express Chipset with Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD
DVD-RW Drive
-----------------------------------------------------
I'm not fantastic with specs, really. I know what everything is, what I mean is I'm not massively clued up as to what's good value for money.
Is this a good buy at £409?
Is there anything better out there, which has a similar spec and price?
Thanks a lot for any help, it'd be much appreciated, as I'm a little stuck and need some assurance.
