Your mission - find me a laptop. It can be new or used (with limited warranty).

Your (my) budget is about £350.

Looking for something running Windows 7. Needs to be able to run LR 3 and CS 4 easily - so decent spec on RAM /Processor.

Anything from 300 - 500gb hdd (more a bonus).

All usual usb / ethernet ports / card reader ?

HDMI port preferred - but not essential.

DVD Writer.

Let's see what you can do.

If it helps, I'm based in Altrincham, Cheshire. Include any delivery fees in your overall price.

Cheers

Anth ;)
 
Haha - looking forward to seeing your results !!

Got something in mind already - but interested in what others can find.

Cheers

Anth.
 
You've done well there matey - that does look good. I have some serious considering to do !

Anyone else got any thoughts ?

Slightly more than your budget, but I got this Compaq (but with a 320GB HD) from Ebuyer a few months ago, and it handles CS5 no problem.

That only has a 160GB HD, so this one has a 320GB HD but with an Intel processor rather than an AMD one.

These are obviously brand new in A1 condition. ;)

Seriously, I spent weeks searching for a laptop, and these were the best I could find new for 'my' £400 budget. The HDMI connection has come in handy too, just plugging into my monitor with the benefit of sound. :)
