Hi All,
My currently laptop is over 10 years old running Windows XP and is about to die. Its running really slowly and making weird noises. Thought I’d try and get a new one before this one actually breaks.
I haven’t followed the computer market for ages so no idea what processor I need or amount of RAM etc … So need some advise on what to get.
I’m not really a power user, mainly use the computer for web browsing, photo editing and sometimes remote connecting to work. Don’t particularly need a long battery life or portability either. I only have a laptop as I live in a flat and don’t have space for a workstation.
I have a friend who can get a discount on a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series. Are they any good?
Specs:
Inspiron 15 – 7537
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4200U Processor (3M Cache, up to 2.6 GHz) + nVidia N14P-GT 2GB GDDR5
Windows® 8
6 GB Memory (1x4GB + 1x2GB) 1600MHz DDR3 Dual Channel
500 GB SATA Hard Drive (5400 RPM)
15.6 inch LED Backlit Touch Display with Truelife and HD resolution (1366 x 768)
Back Up Media Not Included
Windows® 8 64bit (Englilsh)
Intel® Dual Band Wireless-N 7260 2×2 AGN + Bluetooth 4.0
LCD Back Cover : Silver (Touch)
Battery : Primary 4 Cell 58WHr
Internal Qwerty Backlit Keyboard
Anything else I should be looking act. ideally I’d like to keep budget around £400 – 500.
thanks
