[dotVIBE]

Hey guys,

Looking for a laptop for my niece, she just started studying at film school.

Budget is around R6k, must be New in Box. Specs i'm looking at are:

4GB RAM
i3 or i5 Sandybridge
320GB+ HDD, pref 7200RPM
Wifi Type N
Webcam
pref 15.4" Monitor
pref dedicated vid card.

not Acer, Mecer, proline, gigabyte or MSI.

Currently looking at a Dell, Lenovo & HP, but not really finding what i'm looking for.

Location: Cape Town,

Any help will be MUCH appreciated. Thanks guys!

I have the ProBook 4730s but the 4530s should fit in with what you are looking for.

That's pretty darn good for the price.

The reason you cannot find what you are looking for is 'cos it doesn't exist. Mainly the dedictated graphics is bumping you out of your price range.

both the Samsung and the Toshiba look pretty good. Samsung seems the slightly better buy, but i don't know that "cybernatic" website. hmmmm....

good stuff guys.

Since shes doing filming she may need a good graphics card for video rendering, which would make laptop more than 8k I suspect.

I personally like Acer and Lenova Laptops they never break down here. Had my laptops for like 4 - 6 years with no problems.
