Suggest cheap, reliable laptop
I'm finally biting the bullet and replacing my Acer laptop, which died a while ago.
Can I have some suggestions on something that will be a bit more reliable than the Acer? It doesn't have to be the latest and greatest as I only use it for the usual tasks.

I had a Fujistu Siemens (still do) lappy that was a complete stallwart and lasted nearly ten years before the lid hinge gave way, it still works and is one of my digital music servers, I just can't move it around any more. It was replaced with a Samsung 'Ultrabook' which whilst fast, light and slick is noisy and generally a bit junky.
So, whilst I don't know what their current line up is like if I were given the chance again I'd show a bit more brand aligience and stretch to another Fujitsu.

Budget about £350. Requirements? I don't know, decent screen, good sized HDD, it'll mostly be used for e-mail, internet and playing music I guess. I guess a built in camera would be useful for using Skype. It won't be loaded up with heaps of applications this time.Originally Posted by hoopsontoast

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
