Ronnie Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I need to replace my laptop for something newer.. Been looking at something i7, 8GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 2GB graphics and 15ish inch screen around 800-900 + VAT Have been looking at 3XS from scan (we buy most of our IT stuff from here) but wondering if anyone has come across something which they could recommend??

I like Dell laptops as they dont break I have had several different makes and I cant seem to break the Dells I know James would agree. They are more expensive, take longer to come, (not next day unless you buy a standard spec from PC world) and you can only use their PSU to charge it. But that said you will be pleased that you bought one the first time you pour coffee over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan is to replace the battery on my current HP and give this to him and get a new one for me..
