Off Topic Looking for advice re buying a new Laptop

Why not just get a new screen. Cheap as chips and can be fitted in 5 minutes. What type of laptop is it?

 

Innit! nightmare for a week , but after that you have to wonder wtf windows was up too. Last 5 times longer aswell

Splash the cash mate , well worth the investment

 

I did consider replacing the screen (it's a cheap Lenovo) but it also needs remedial work on partially broken keyboard and corner as someone stood on the bloody thing

 

That sort of thing can happen when you watch the game online.

 

Since OSx has become more popular, there has been a 10 fold increase in malware and viruses targeting Macs. Though Apple themselves will deny that there is any such thing happening.

@marcusblackcat, what is your budget ?

You can get an MSI laptop which is 100% "modifiable", you can switch out any component and upgrade it whenever you want/need. Slightly more expensive initial investment compared to other Laptops (Windows, still cheaper than a Mac) but it can last for ages as you can upgrade individual parts afterwards.

 

Someone That's what I say when I mean 'wife'.

 

Budget is around £650 mate

Cheers mate - although the bold bits above might as well be in a foreign language!!

 

GT940M is the graphics card, which is a v. good one for a laptop. 4210H is just the model number of the processor - it is a 2.9ghz cpu which has turbo boost up to 3.4ghz (fast), LAN = you can plug in a network cable, WLAN, it work on a wireless network (Wi-fi), DVDSM = DVD burner. I checked, and it also has HDMI and Display port output - so you can plug it in to any screen.

 

Wow I get lessons as well - cheers fella much appreciated! Will have a good look a little later today
