Laptop recommendations

[Kibby]

I'm looking for a really slim, light laptop, anyone know of any they would recommend? I lloked at the Dell Inspiron 510 but think it looks quite big, anyone know?

I wouldn't recommend Dell to anyone TBH - I had a problem with my Inspiron laptop and their aftersales service is quite frankly, crap! and annoyingly located in India.
I've just bought a new dinky, lightweight laptop from PC world, they've loads of offers on at the mo
HTH

agree about the aftersales service on dell BUT I still think their laptops are much better than others.

littlemissbossy , what make is it?

I have got a lovely slim silver samsung XO5. Got it from comet. With 5 years insurance it was £999. Love it to bits.

Ooops - just got my new Dell yesterday! I was so distraught after I dropped my Samsung down the stairs that I let dp do all the shopping around and chosing. Seems OK so far!

I've had mine for a while so don't know about the newer models but it's a Compaq presario. Overall, it's been a good machine. I used it a ton in graduate school with no problems.

I've got a Sony Vaio, and don't think I would ever have another make, the customer service is also second the none, and, they have a web site which you can go on and try and solve the problem first.

I am on an Apple powerbook at the moment and love it, we all have Apple laptops in this house and DD's has a french keyboard.

Work laptio is an IBM Thinkpad which is small and compact.

We recently bought and Advent from PC World for £699 which is good too. Comes with wireless card, dvd re-writer and memory card slot.

Try the Acer ones, they have quite a few lighter weight ones. Dh has just bought one at laptopshop.co.uk

kibby, it's a averatec 12" notebook, wireless card, etc
