Hi

i am wanting to buy a new laptop around £700 or less. I'll be using for uni (i do architecture) and will be using it for CAD, viz rendering 3D models, photoshop and things like that.

ive spent abit of time looking around and have seen this Acer Aspire 6920G for £680 which looks good and has everything i need...i think

what do you think of Dells or can you suggest other comps that are good.

this is another decent laptop, just lacks abit on the graphics compared to the acer - Toshiba A300-1BZ

thanks

I tried an older Acer and i couldn't tilt the screen as much as i can with my HP. And the screen quality sucked too. But haven't tried this one so i can't really say but there are definitively better options out there.

You don't pay more for brand name but for tech/driver support. A friend bought an Acer lappy when the HD2600 radeons came out. He has one in his lappy he bought and there were no drivers available for this mobile GPU at Acer's site.

"Driver support"

If there's a nee for custom drivers, they're on the manufacturer's site. If not, you're paying for nothing. My uncle had this HP laptop for four years and never ever used the tech support, being computer illiterate, it says a thing or two. Then I got this computer, and the only problem I've had with it was that the custom drivers from HP's site didn't work.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
