So the story goes...

I've broken my laptop, and i'm in the market for a new one. So what do i want?

Well, my old one was a big 17.3in Acer with i5 processor, 4gb ram, nfi of the overall memory but i was never gonna exceed it, 2.3/2.9ghz. Windows 7. AMD graphics, i think.

The screen was too big really, as anything it could play online was too stretched on the clarity. In fact things like YouTube and likewise players were horrible and required a part screen.. and whilst some photos looked great, i had to sit right back to view them.
So i'm happy with a smaller screen, though I'd like a widescreen layout.

I don't need a CD re-writer drive. I haven't used mine for literally 2-3yrs, i listen/view everything online.

Id like to do more with photos, video, and music. Much more.

Id like it to be fast and responsive - i swear sometimes my phone is sharper than my laptop was over Wi-Fi..

Ram aside, i don't need huge memory. Even cheapies come with over 300gb now.

And that brings me to my final point - obviously i dont wanna pay much. And i dont think i need to. Seven years ago i paid 650 quid, this time i dont wanna pay half that. Im still finding the odd i7-equipped book for money i can justify but obviously i have to dig into my sacrifices.

I'm all ears.

Nevermind, i just bought one. I'm a geezer, i can't spend three weeks shopping around.

hope you enjoy windows 10

id still rid your old one on ebay as spares/repairs just shove a sh*te hdd in it so no fkr harvesting your data, someone will buy it esp with it having some signs of life

I had 10 before and i got on okay with it, some features were better. But it was just a download off google job, not really done properly and probably not genuine, and i got smashed by trojans - took 3 days just to get it to factory reset.

My old one, which is an Acer Aspire 7750G, i've taken the HD and ram card out of it (much as i doubt ill ever be able to use them) and chucked it in the recycle bin.

A new keyboard alone for this is 200 quid, im sure it has parts, but i don't know whats damaged so it's only likely to disappoint someone.

awwe u daft sod spares repair category,many businesses buy that stuffs esp a decent cpu like yours has,had then break everything down even tje windows license key sticker has a value.

Punch your recycling bin man if a 6 pack dont appears so just punch him before your posh new laptop arrives better than Xmas

My postie's always bringing me presents

If anything, Mikey, you're all nose.

My ears are catching up, though.
