Looking for cheapest notebook with these specs:


OS:Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8
Processor:2.0 GHz Intel® Core™2 Duo E4400 or 2.0 GHz AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 3800+
Memory:2 GB RAM
Graphics:256 MB DirectX 9 / NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600 GT or ATI Radeon™ HD 2600 XT
Sound:DirectX 9.0c-compliant


What would you recommend please
 
What game/application is that for?

Those specs are pretty low end by now, but you'll probably still need to pay about R5k for a laptop with that specs.
 
As per pada those specs are a bit old but i guess still better than a celeron base model on sale today,I could sell you my second hand hp dv6 with slightly better specs .Pm me if you are interested.

You're not going to find those specs in a new laptop though the base new ones available at retailers are either the junk celerons or the i3's(consider the i3's don't bother with celeron).
 
Thanks guys, want to develop in Visual Studio 2013 on it, and play rocksmith game.
But would also like VGA and HDMI out - dont know if thats possible so I'm first gonna check out -
VGA for when visiting locations with older VGA projectors
HDMI for playing stuff onto flat screen TV.

Are there laptops with both VGA and HDMI?
 
Smaller laptops generally only have HDMI now - they remove the VGA port to save costs. But in 15 inch (ie normal) laptops, both ports are not uncommon to find.
 
Look for a Acer Travelmate 5760G. That should be good enough, plus it has built in Graphics. Perfect laptop really.
