savage bulldogs Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Right I know a few of you on here know a fair bit about computers and I need to replace my old compaq presario . I only use it for work invoices, burning cd's and hopefully (in the near future ) apexi datalogging . Windows office isn't essential ,as I use the free libre office software atm but a disc drive is (for ripping n burning) Budget around £400 any suggestions people's ?

Sandals Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Only just noticed this thread... any preference to screen size? http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/acer-aspire-e5-475-14-laptop-grey-10157735-pdt.html Won't be the fastest thing in the world as it doesn't have an SSD but it does have 8GB RAM which is more than enough for everyday tasks and more. To get one with an SSD you would need to go for one with 4GB RAM and a lower spec CPU... and that would be more likely to cause overall slowness, not just boot up speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 you may want to consider a tablet for the apexi datalogging stuff purely for the size / portability etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
