I'm looking to buy a laptop. As I've never owned one before I could do with some help. It will be used mostly to edit images using Photoshop (I'm a photographer).
My budget is £700. I've been looking at the Acer series of laptops, specifically the Acer Aspire 5612WLMi.
The spec is as follows:
Intel Centrino Core Duo Processor T2300 1.66GHz
512MB DDRII SDRAM
60GB Hard Drive
DVD Super Multi Dual Layer Drive - To read DVDs and CDs and write CDs, DVD+, DVD-, large Dual Layer DVD and DVD-Ram
15.4" XGA Widescreen TFT Screen with CrystalBrite
Intel 945GM shared graphics
4 USB 2.0 Sockets
Integrated LAN and 56k v.90 data fax modem
Integrated wireless 802.11 a/b/g LAN - Call for advice on Wireless networking
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Pre Loaded
FREE Microsoft Works
2.5-hour Battery Life
Weight 2.89kg
With VAT & delivery this will cost £637.59.
If I upgrade the RAM to 1GB and take a 3 yr warranty it would cost £696.54.
I would like to know what people think about the spec in relation to price and any other comments you may have.
Thanks in advance.
