Hi All

On Friday some smelly git broke into my house and stole my laptop @#$%^$$##@

It was a Samsung R710 with a full size keyboard, and a 17" screen - as well as things inside that workd nicely!
Ive got to find a replacement, but cant decide what to go for. Basically I'd like something similar,with the big screen and proper keyboard.
It is used for a bit of everything, from games to emails.
My fiance has an HP, and I hate it, its noisy and the HP programs do their best to use all the internet bandwidth we have whilst trying to make you think they're helping so I wont be buying anything HP

Can anyone else give me some ideas of what to get. I'd like to spend about 8G, and ahve something that will last untill its stolen!

thanks
Ryan

PS my computer was off, and had a password, can the @@#%$%^&^% get into my docs, or will they have to reformat it and start again?
 
sorry to hear about that. sux when a**hole think he is entilted...

anyhow, i suggest an Acer. I have the i7 5750g. Its R6999 ex VAT and its a really sweet machine. The specs are at the bottom. Copied directy from my Recton Price list. (if you want i can order and you collect and pay cash)

As for you data, sadly it can be accessed, but not by your everyday noob. Also depends on what your setup was (e.g. were you on domain etc). But mostly they just steal, format and sell to 2nd hand shop, so you should be OK.

Cheers
