Naughty laptop

[omens]

My seven year old Acer laptop broke after my sister spilt some water on it. So after some deliberation, I've decided to go all out. A few years ago, I ordered a £3000 laptop from Rock, but after much messing about (including them not delivering during the week I had taken off work, despite being promised the delivery on each day), I cancelled the order.

Hope I don't have the same thing happen here.


Vortex II: 17.3" Matte Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080) (£89)
Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-2720QM (2.20GHz) 6MB Cache
8GB SAMSUNG 1333MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (2 x 4GB)
2.0GB nVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 580M - DirectX® 11
500GB WD SCORPIO BLACK WD5000BPKT, SATA 3 Gb/s, 16MB CACHE (7200 rpm)
SONY BD-5730S 6x BLURAY WRITER & CYBERLINK SOFTWARE (£89)
Intel 5.1 Channel High Definition Audio + SPDIF/MIC/Headphone Jack
Everything else standard
3 Year Gold Warranty (2 Year Collect & Return, 2 Year Parts, 3 Year Labour) (£69)

Wanted the higher spec screen but couldn't wait until September/October. I'm currently using my NC10 netbook!

Fingers crossed.

how about a PC instead, unless you need the portability? a PC will offer much better performance

Presuming you need a laptop for portability reasons, What do you intend using it for?

You said you ordered a 3k laptop some time ago but it fell through, whats your budget this time? It's also worth remembering a 3k laptop wont be that much faster than a 1.5k laptop pound for pound.

Depending on your exact usage, it could be possible to modify it slightly to get the best spec for you.

Originally I used to be into PC gaming but since that £3k deal fell through, I bought a ps3 out of anger. Love it though.

Laptop mainly for photoshop with raw files, video converting, and playing dvds. Want to get back into pc gaming again too.

Blu-ray burner, 500gb hdd, gfx card and matte screen are all "luxuries".
