Yeah I did get your PM messages but I couldn't reply as you keep getting banned & making a new account, then get banned again etc etc. Anyway, I did get your PM messages and I did see your pic, you're not ugly and you're definitely not hot lol. You look like you work in Londis :K:

Salaaaaaam guys, just a hi-tech question for y'all. Anyone can recommend me a good laptop for about £400 pounds? I tried going to PC world and Currys today but they were trying to rip me off so bad! Plus I hate the windows 8 look so much! Downloading microsoft word/excel etc will be such a great deal of a hassle since they no longer do CD versions. I checked out some good HP ones but they seem like the type that will snap in a instance, especially with a clumsy person like me.

So any hi-tech/technical person out ere that can help me out is much appreciated.

Hope y'all are doing fine insaAllah.


Model: Asus x550CA 15.6"
Price £399.99
Operating system windows 8 can be reverted to 7.
4GB Ram
Intel i5
Hard drive 750GB

Heeeyyy, alles goed?

I have seen that in the shop en mijn broeder said to me that i should get it! I had no idea that it could be reverted to windows 7! that makes it so much more appealing, I was a bit dissapointed with the RAM since a couple of HP were 8GB and for a less price also, but like i said before the hinges seem like they were gonna snap any second.

Dankje wel!

You speak dutch? :eek: Ja, alles gaat goed hier!

Good value for money would definitely recommend it to you, but as you said earlier the RAM is only 4GB. What are you going to be using it for? If you're only using it for basic stuff then those specs should be more than sufficient. I prefer this laptop because it is small and portable easy to carry around.

Geen Probleem! hoop dat je een goeie laptop vind.

Echt? Hoe kan je het gratis downloading? Ik had geen idee! Zo ik moet het niet gaan kopen van de winkel? Overall, is de laptop good? Quality wise? Hoe is de levensduur van de batterij? Ik ben echt sorry for deze alle vragen! :colondollar:

Het ligt aan de universiteit sommige geven geen gratis software weg, dus dan moet je vragen als je z'n packet kan downloaden van hun. De laptop is opzich wel goed maar het is heel dun, dus kan die wel stuk gaan als je er niet mee verzichtig omgaat. Batterij levenduur is 4 uur.

Zit je al op universiteit dan? :smile:
You guys are making me jell with your dutch talk :frown: Im actually learning it now.

Actually knew the words without translation! Looks like im getting there. :P And I was born in Holland. Lived there for 5 years then I moved to England. Its really annoying when people ask me do you know the lang and I say no.

So I want to learn the lang. My mum showed me videos the other day of me speaking in dutch when I was 4. Sad to say I didnt understand a word.

Goed gedaan, well done.

Whereabouts are you from in the Netherlands. I resided in Noord-Holland in a homely historic city called Hoorn, bet you've never heard of it haha. I lived there pretty much my whole life moved 7 years ago and been living in England ever since. I do miss the food kroket, frikandel all you have here is sausage and vinegar! :unimpressed:

Dutch isn't a very hard language but we use the letter "G" a lot it feels like something is up your throat :rolleyes: Are you actually dutch by blood then?

Ik ben 21 jaar.

I'm quite fond of the main cities Rotterdam and Amsterdam thinking of doing my masters back in the Netherlands after I finish here. I spoke Dutch throughout my stay in Holland and it used to be my first language. I speak very little now as English has kind of taken over. I meant to ask if your family was Dutch since you were born there.
