Ignorant laptop virgin needs help please...!

[mankymummymoo]

So... I'm going to buy a laptop, but I'm a little clueless !

I am thinking of getting this....

but is that a proper laptop or a notebook thingy?

and would this be better?

or can anyone direct me to a better alternative? I have a budget of 400-500 pounds max.

Thank you !

please? [desperate look]

I would buy the ebay one,I have a similar HP model[compaq and hp are the same company] and its a great laptop.
The compaq has a webcam and the acer doesnt,they are both 15 inch screens so full size laptop.
This is personal preference,I prefer the processor in the compaq,it alsp has some good reviews.
Google both laptops and see if you can find some more reviews before you make up your mind.

thats fantastic, thank you very much.

does the Compaq sound like a good deal to you?

That price looks about the same as others are charging,I would be tempted by that laptop if I was buying one,its a similar spec to mine and I have been very pleased with mine.

Bought it and it arrived this morning. LOOKS lovely, have yet to install anything on it!

Thanks for all your help!.
