|
 |
So I've scraped up some money now and I need to buy something nice!
I've been thinking of something that goes for minimum 350 euros and maximum 500 euros, MAYBE MORE!
I'm not sure of what to buy as I'm not much experienced in the laptop business, if some people could link me to some european sites/Swedish I'd very much appreciate it, I'm also up for American sites that send wares to Sweden, I've also heard about Hong Kong so I'm also up for that, if it is secure.
So basically the best laptop for 350-500 euros, I don't want one that is to big since I'll be using this mostly for schoolwork, but i want to maybe run some low-end games such as WC3.
So yeah, fire up those links!
thanks!

Check out the ASUS Eee-PC
LINK
This is in German, but you can see the specs and the price € 249,-*
Sort of in your price range...a bit less, but anyho.

The prob with the Eee's is the hard drive, normally they are pretty small "4GB" but you could always buy a external USB or something.
It might be to small for what you need, but I find the concept of the Eee brilliant. There are of course other models in their product pallet, as you can see in the 1st link above.

i ordered a few for some ppl
Toshiba is the most reliable in that price range, Acer same price lvl but not quality
those are most cheap laptops u can get atm, u can go for Intel but it will cost 30-50 euro xtra, it's not like u gonna game or overclock on it so it won't matter

Very nice price actually. An outgoing model: Satellite Pro A200. 4395 NOK, if im not totally wrong you are swedish? NOK is just worth a little more than SEK.

Hey just a quick update.
I'm most likely going to buy the Lenovo ThinkPad SL300.
I'm wondering when the SL series are going to hit sweden/europe, I cannot seem to find any dealer who sells it.
Thanks.

! The best bet is to look around at the UMPC market (eeePC, Msi Wind, Acer One are the main 3) and see how they compare to your requirements.
