michael Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Seems OK, does it need to be wireless or anything? I can't see any mention of that on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Seems OK, does it need to be wireless or anything? I can't see any mention of that on there. I was looking at Wireless, but what does that mean, Wireless internet connection or something else, excuse my ignorance to laptops (computers in general actually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Wireless usaully means wireless access to a network. You would want to connect to a network to say access another PC or the internet. They are fairly good machines them, HP are highly recomended here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fused about 160 hard drive, nor 2gb or ram tho, do you remember what they had for the £350 mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a 1 gig ram 120 hdd one there for that Matt. Would highly recommend 2 gig ram for Vista though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Well I found a bargain at Comet; an Acer Aspire 5720 which has lots of nice things attached. Even a Crystal Eye camera, for £399. I don't think you can go far wrong with one of these: Acer Aspire EDIT: Out of stock. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 if you want the 530 (although i wouldnt as vista with 1gb ram is bad) this place is only a few quid more, but has them in stock http://uk.insight.com/apps/productpresentation/index.php?product_id=HPYA05IPZ&nbs_search=K%3DHP%2B530%2B%26x%3D22%26y%3D8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
