Getting new laptop choice of 2
Hi so my dell finally gave the ghost and am either going to get the
Hp envy sleekbook 6z
Or the ultrabook 6t
The only differance is that sleekbook as an amd processor what i want to know is is the sleekbook all that bad and how would it compare to my old dell 1525 as that was just powerful enough to keep up with my needs most of the time
sometimes not
I am open to sugestions of other machines -

Was looking to buy a sleekbook too, until i read more on AMDs and intels.... AMD as a processor is quite bad compared to intel... thats why the sleekbook "ultrabook" is selling at a cheaper price to other real ultrabooks. Have a look at samsung series 5 14inch. Will be getting that tomorrow

I'm guessing at least 6 gb of ram than and an i5?
But whats the point of an ultrabook? the specs are more expensive as you trade it for portability. -

Re: Getting new laptop choice of 2suggest looking at ebuyer, dabs, saveonlaptops and laptopsdirect................... ..as currys and the likes are to be fair kind of rip-offs. Plus you should wait till august for a summer sale, you can currently pick a 3rd gen i5 with 6gb of ram fromlenovo for around £470 http://www.ebuyer.com/391222-lenovo-...laptop-maagnuk(Original post by aaaagggg1525)

Re: Getting new laptop choice of 2Currently Lenovo are the most reliable based on some recent research in the states.................it's upto you to be honest, but your going cheap than you can get an i3 for £330 the Lenovo B570 http://www.ebuyer.com/351922-lenovo-b570-laptop-n2f25uk(Original post by aaaagggg1525)

Re: Getting new laptop choice of 2Nope that's pretty good for your needs, you can get an i7 for £30 more but that is overkill.(Original post by aaaagggg1525)

Re: Getting new laptop choice of 2
If i were gunna get the i7 would there be any advantage ie quicker data transfure even better film playing weather streaming or downloaded quicher internet (i know this is mainly based on internet speed)
That would make the 30 quid worth it

Re: Getting new laptop choice of 2i7 would be better at intense programs, streaming and downloading is solely down to the internet speed.(Original post by aaaagggg1525)
