Laptop For A Friend

Matt

A friend is after a laptop.

What do you think of these specs?

Laptop will be used for internets, movies and stuff only. No gaming but it must be a quick laptop as the current one lags and is slow.

Bluray movies might be watched on it eventually, so will the graphics need updating?

Also, is it possible to have a different colour, for example pink instead of, and i quote 'boring black'.

Hello Matt

In response to your questions:

1. The specification is great, in fact a little over-kill for internet, movies and stuff only. You could probably get away with a more basic processor, such as a T4400 or T6600.

2. The graphics will support Blu-ray playback fine.

3. Unfortunately we do not offer a different choice of colours at present, only the colours as per the pictures are available.

Thanks, I'll pass on the details. Should have a definite answer either way next week.
