| 880305 | 2010-04-27 03:58:00 | Hi a friend asked me to recommend a laptop The use will mainly be word processing, email and photos but I don't want something underpowered if shes multitasks I personally would recommend Toshiba or ASUS but only because I have had good dealings with them in the past Heres and Hp I was looking at www.pbtech.co.nz I really like the look of this especially full size keyboard bit over the money though www.pbtech.co.nz Please give me your recommendations and any other suggestions |

Is there anything wrong with this one? www.pbtech.co.nz Or DSE has a 14" Tosh L500 for $899 if you want to get a smaller one. Asus or Toshiba are definitely the way to go for new notebooks, tosh has a better range around the $1000 mark, the asus are often a bit dearer. Giggity. |

| 880307 | 2010-04-27 04:27:00 | Yeah I like the tosh from pb but its just a bit pricey I'll see if I can persuade her I did like the fact that it had a C2d I imagine its a bit power hungry though Cheers Wratterus I have a look at the L500 see if she wants something small or not Giggity Goo. |

| 880308 | 2010-04-27 04:42:00 | That Compaq 610 is a business model so pretty basic in terms of extras. Eg: it only has one speaker instead of two so no stereo sound. Have a look at this one: www.pbtech.co.nz More expensive but much better specs. |

| 880309 | 2010-04-27 04:54:00 | I have used a lot of those Pentium Dual Core Toshibas, (Not C2D) and they aren't slugs. For what you're describing, one of those cheaper ones would be more than adequate IMO. :thumbs: | wratterus (105) | ||
| 880310 | 2010-04-27 05:39:00 | I have recently helped 2 friends set up the L500 that Wratterus recommended. It is more than enough for working on word processing, email, and photos, (at the same time), and at a great price. | AvonBill (11358) | ||
