Hi all.

Can someone help me pick the best laptop out of these 3 or other suggestions? I’m going to American for xmas then to New Zealand in the new year and I would love to have a laptop by my side. I got it down to these 3 one from Pcworld and two from Novateach.

PC World:

Novatech: (2 laptops on same page)

I want to spend as little as possible but get a good laptop. The 3 are around my budget.

I will be using it for every day use i.e. pictures, docs, internet and I might try and put a game or 2 on it see what I can play :D.

If I were you I would go for a Dell Latitude, Toshiba or HP/Compaq. dont buy from PC World though, their support and customer service is really bad.

Various unbranded laptops I have seen including some of Novatechs units have had overheating problems. Sorry just being honest.
