Ok well I want a good laptop, I reckon I can make like £400 from my PC, maybe more with monitor, speakers etc.

I need some advice as what to get, my budget is about £800 ($1,627 USD).

I'm looking to get something that is fast, large disk space, dvd burner is essential, dual core processor preferable.
I am considering getting a refurbished mac book, so don't just say "get a mac".

Some links to laptops would be great, and any help and advice welcome.

Thanks :)

get a mac

I'm assuming there is a PC World near you. My brother got his Mac Book from there for under £800, (But his was literally the one of the shelf, they just cleared it).


APPLE MAC LAPTOPS - APPLE MACBOOK INTEL CORE 2 DUO PROCESSOR 2GHz LAPTOP £749.97 inc VAT.

From personal experience this one works like a dream :P

'Course if you haven't taken out the option to buy online;

I cant seem to access this site at the moment, but try here;

Like I said, I'm already looking into mac books. And unless I find a nice deal on a PC Laptop I will go for a Mac Book Pro.

Maybe a Mac Book with Duel Boot?
Or the other way round (I assume its possible, never looked at Duel Booting)

Mac Books nowadays come prebuilt with the ability to run Windows on. But I don't NEED anything other than Mac OS.. same if I were to buy a Windows Laptop, I wouldn't NEED any other OS's.. Dual boot is a waste of time/resources.

Forget about Mac. Look into HP's dv9000/2000/6000 series. Customize online and get it with an accidental damage warranty. I have a 9000t and 8000t (discontinued) and they are both lovely. Technical support isn't bad, you just have to call 2 or 3 times to get to someone who can actually help you. You shouldn't have much problems. I do hate Vista though (easy to uninstall).

It seems to me though, I can get an equally good(spec) Mac for the same price, which leads me to think why not just get a Mac. (I like mac btw, and have worked with it before, I also love PCs. I wouldn't be gaming so that's not an issue, and I can always boot into Windows if I 'need' to)

I just got a new laptop, but you can't have it. However, you can consider getting the same one, if you want. It costs around £400, but the specs aren't perfect.

Packard Bell. The specs say 80GB, but it's really only 60. Damn teh liars.

Whatever floats your boat :) They are almost exactly the same except HP doesn't do Mac OS.
