Hi all,
I'm looking for laptop as my old advent 8212 12" has just about packed up.
There was alot of bad press about them but I have had mine since dec 2007 and never had a problem with it until now.
Problems :
- keeps shutting down randomly
- battery not charging ( its the charging board not the battery)
- USB ports are all loose and keep disconnecting
These were the old specs:
CPU Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 (1.80GHz)
Chipset Intel 965GM Express
Memory 2GB DDR2 PC2-4200 SODIMM (2 memory slots. Max 2GB)
Hard Drive 120GB Hitachi HTS541612J9SA00
CD Drive Optiarc DVD±RW AD-7560A
Screen 12" Widescreen TFT (native resolution 1280x800)
Video Card Intel GM965
Battery S20-4S2200-G1P3 (14.4v 2200mAh)
Dimensions 31 x 296 x 227 (HxWxD in mm)
Weight 1.83kg
Now it cost me £600 then and its specs were good for the time.
Its my birthday soon and I'm splashing out for a new one.
I'm looking to spend about the same ( £600 )
But I'd like
: core i5
:4gb Ram at least
edicated Graphics AMD or Nvidia
:14"- 15.6"
I do play a few games- Fallout 3/ new vegas/ skyrim.
I've been hunting for a few days and I'm not impressed with whats out there to be honest.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a laptop with these features for £600?
Thanks
Niall Cameron
