Peter:"Oh yeah."
A friend was asking for some advice regarding a laptop she's a student and just needs something practical within the £300 - £450 price range. I had a quick look around and everything seems pretty standard for that amount of ca$h.
Bare in mind, I'm from the Amstrad CPC 464 8-bit generation, so seeing processors with 64-bit extensions, 1TB hard drives, and Gigs of Ram always puts a smile on my face. A lot of people new to PC's (through no fault of their own!) just won't be able to appreciate just how far we have come in terms of hardware/software. So really what I'm saying is times are good, so long as you don't buy a celeron processor laptop (unless you really must!) anything you get will be decent above the £350 range....and remember warranty can be your best friend, what with RMA headaches.
Anyhow here are the one's I showed her (I'm NOT affiliated with any of the companies below, just so you know :O), but I have used them including Samsung (but I can't be bothered to list Samsung, even though they make some slick machines) :

Next time, I intend to have a look at the individual brands and possible do some tables for comparisons. :)
