Hi all,

Looking around for a laptop for my Dad, mainly for office applications and Video playback. Not gone laptop hunting in a while and wondered if you had any suggestions!

Following specs required...

Budget of up to £700
15.6" Screen
Full keyboard (Num Pad)
Very good battery life
Win 7
Not 'girly' looking
... and thats about it really!

Quite a lot of options around but wondered if anyones spotted a particular model thats perhaps of notable mention.

Cheers
James

 

Thanks Arroryn,

Looks very nice, did a bit of looking around and the R850-143 version seems similar, has a better graphics card according to the Toshiba website

Toshiba Satellite Pro R850-143 Windows 7 Laptop PT52KE-007010EN - Laptops Direct

Pretty much ticks all the boxes, slightly over budget but both defiinatly a possibility

Cheers

 

I aways look at a certain website when gettin electricals, only have 1 laptop at mo but i got a great deal for my mum on one.
Lenovo ThinkPad X201 12.1'' Laptop - 4GB, 320GB - NUSA2UK r

No OS on this one or recovery disk but im sure it wouldnt be hard to get one

 

Just to let you know jsh333, i had major trouble with laptops direct about 5 years ago. Picked my laptop, paid for it. got told it would be delivered on 3 separate occasions, which it never, customer service was awful and a refund took a month.

On saying that, they may have leaned how to deal with customers these days
