Howzit everyone. Just looking for a lappie and was wondering if you guys have any thoughs on this laptop or have seen anything better at a similar price?
This seems like the best mid-range offer i have been able to spec out?

HP 530

Also this is a "core-duo", is there a difference compared to the core-2-duo versions or has it just been worded funny? ---> Answer

Thanks

Edit:LOL link added:rolleyes:

I think it is priced along corresponding guidelines.

Seems decent to me.

Have heard good things about Landmark, haven't shopped there yet myself though.

I also have an HP 530 model, although that one is a lot beefier than mine :eek:

They're good laptops :)

It looks like a solid deal although i've had a few lower quotes already:D All part of the game. Will also prob revert back to XP as im no Vista fanboy just yet.

Mine is still running Windows Vista, too much effort to revert back to XP since I only use it for my class notes and a bit of programming :eek:
