My Laptop is dying .... it was rescued from the skip and repaired by me a couple of years ago - cost me nothing ... but the HardDrive is clicking and whirring and gurgling.

Think it may be time to change?

All I use it for is Internet, to be honest. But could play some simple games if it was decent (like Silent Hunter).

Are NoteBooks any good? Or are LapTops still the best option?

I think £299'ish should get me something which would do me .... do you think?

Any links to good offers?

Thanks in anticipation

 

post in the computer section you old duffer!

check out the dell site, google the addy - inspiron range will serve you well

 

Change the hardDrive?

 

I did think, as most use LapTops, it wasn't specialised enough for the Computer Section ...

 

Pen and paper How much do you want to spend ? pc world have some good deals without pixels.

 

Battery won't hold charge.

HardDrive dicky.

Screens seem better these days?

 

If I could find one with a faulty pixel I could get my money back and keep it!

OH, yes, must not come from PCWorld or any Currys/Dixons Group outfit!!

I want good Customer Service so PCWorld is ruled out ..... Dell any good, I have heard mixed reports about their attitude to Customers?

Lol!

My old C64, Vic20 and ZX81 are still in the attic at my parents house. I was posh and had a hard drive for my C64

 

Could be overboosting. Have you tried a USB Cocklink Pete?

This should do the trick:
