Laptop search help

edited December 2011 in Not Sports Related
Im currently looking for a laptop under £400. It needs to be able to run the Adobe creative suite and Football Manager (preferably at the same time).
Any help or links would be much appreciated

    I'd recommend anything with 4gb RAM and WIN 7 64 Bit operating system. The Toshiba Satellite is a good shout and should be able to handle Adobe and FM2012 with ease.

    Pretty much any laptop around £400 will run both at the same time. However, Adobe CS will run like an absolute dog with anything else that is resource-intensive running alongside it. Go for more RAM above anything else.

    Cheers for the tips, ive been a Mac man upto this point so non apple products are new to me

    How does this look ?

    Looks fine - but HP laptops are notoriously failure-prone. They make economies on all the little components that no-one cares about when looking through the spec (the motherboards are gash, capacitor failure all over the shop, power supplies go really regularly on them, screen quality is pants and the HDDs they use are dreadfully cheap and fail much faster than other manufacturers). Strangely enough (since their servers are terrible) Dell are a pretty decent outfit for laptops/workstations, but if I had to choose, I'd go with Lenovo for reliability and longevity.

    Yep, Lenovo's are pretty good. On a Lenovo B550 as we speak. Basic design but are robust and very reliable. P.S £437 on Amazon. Not sure ow much mine is as it is a work laptop. Check out - http://whatlaptop.techradar.com/ for good write ups on laptops.

    bought a Toshiba Satellite just over a year ago. Charger failed just out of warranty. £39 at Maplins for a replacement universal unit.
