As the title says, I need a laptop for my kids course work.
Will need to buy online as I have no time for shopping, 15" screen, wireless connection, at least 512mb mem, decent graphics say 128mb, 60gig plus HD, maybe DVD player although not to bothered if it burns, perhaps cd burner.
AND...................CHEAP!!

oint:

Ideas??

Thats a nice machine M8 I like Acer.

bonzobob999 · 01-10-06, 09:18 PM

Yup, had a look around to see if I could find this one cheaper.........ordered it along with a wireless ADSL router/modem so I can network the lot together and share the printer.....can't get anything faster than 2meg with this BT voyager modem anyway.
