[SOLVED] Best brand laptop for my needs

[Learn2day]

If i gave you the direct Samsung specs link, which clearly states the 540m GPU, why are you trusting info from site that clearly aren't giving you full detailed specs? When in doubt, contact them for full model info, i.e. NP-RF511-S01UK

Here is your Jonh Lewis Samsung Official specs link: Support for NP-RF511

[konradgoat]

That link you gave me, the model number of the John Lewis is NP-RF511-A01UK
The one that you linked to me, the model number is NP-RF511-S01UK

So, that could mean that they are different

[joeten]

I told you there are different models

Intel Pentium

Intel® Pentium® Processor B950 (2M Cache, 2.10 GHz)

wont that be a bit slow?

I kinda need, Intel i5, 6GB Ram, 1GB Dedicated Graphics, A Good Brand and to the price of £520

[joeten]

Why would a i7 be slow and it has nvidia graphics also you quoted i3 in your last spec description,8 hour battery life the only thing I see is 4gb ram

It's a business laptop and the busines will be paying for it so better support?

[joeten]

Now that makes sense just don't leave it to long before you decide as most i5 I see are much higher priced

Got till the 18th. I would prefer it coming before I start college 7 days. It says it takes at least 7-10 days delivery. I prefer buying straight from the manufacture, custom built as I trust it will in execllent quality

[konradgoat]

I'll keep this open just in case I experience problems, I am fed up with the Customer Experience with PC World/Currys

You could do that search specs wise yourself, like i've told you earlier. Plus, it's not so different from the Samsung RF511.

Btw, did you read my previous post?

[konradgoat]

It's not even available

I think I might go for the XPS, it has a better battery life
