I have been quite busy lately and have not posted about my new laptop that I got about 3 months ago
Its a Lenovo N100, although they dont make it with the same specs now. I managed to get a good deal on it (£417), as it was good specs but there was under 20 left when i ordered as the new specs of the new N100's were coming. But tbh they were worse specs and higher price.
Anyway here is what i got:
Intel Core Duo T2300 1.66GHz
512MB DDR2-667MHz
64MB (256MB) GeForce 7300 Go (Not bad)
80GB SATA-II 5400rpm
15.4" Widescreen 1680x1050
(Real Nice)
1.3MP Camera intergrated
Wifi, DVD-RW
5-in-1 card reader
Fingerprint scanner
XP Home
All for £417 and the new ones were over £600, and had a 1280x800 screen, onboard graphics, Core 2 Duo 1.66GHz, 120GB HDD, 1GB RAM. So I think my one is better. I then picked up a 1GB stick of Corsair DDR2-667MHz RAM for only £24 for a total of 1.5GB now. Which made it quite a bit faster, was using 400MB on startup.
I also bought a Lenovo case and a mini mouse for £28. Overall its pretty good laptop for the price and specs. And I am happy, I mostly use it for work like, Word, Excel, PP, Wifi, Skype and then a few games. I can play TM Nations at 1680x1050 on med settings and looks great
