Please help me choose between these - all costing about 350. I am fried. Just when I think I know what I'm buying, some other nonsense pops up to befuddle me.

I'd get the Lenovo but they're all much of a muchness at that price.

 

[Biscuitmonkey]

You do realise that your word is law and I'd get it even if I found out your surname was Lenovo? The only thing that's niggling me is that it looks like I have to fork out an extra 30 for the adaptor - how rude.

Yes, less options and cost a whole load more than £500.

MtM: I recommend you buy it from John Lewis if you can. I might be in town next Saturday (or maybe Monday) if you want me to meet up with you there and give you a hand.

I don't think you need spend more than £400 for a great laptop.

John Lewis also give a free two year guarantee, sometimes three years, on their computers. That's more than worth the extra you pay over an online retailer

Buygreendot is apparently a con site.

It's alright, someone that I'd been buying DVDs off for years went bust earlier in the year so I never got a couple of DVDs that I'd paid for. Not quite the same but

Slightly different but anyway.

Buygreendot look like organised professional fraudsters. Hopefully by mentioning their name over and over again it'll put this thread high up on google's ranking when their name is searched.

Double WIN. Not only will they be warned about not wasting their money on a scam, but they'll also be able to have a good 5 min chuckle about some trolling noob that can't make her mind up on which laptop to buy.

How am I trolling?

It's not deliberate at all

I'm just confuddled with the huge choice and technical details/terminology
