lot of expensive laptops but the mid range prices are still a bit high compared to when I first got my laptop. The site I looked it is www.ebuyer.co.uk and if you multiply the prices you see there by 1.52 then you will get an approximation of what that model would cost in Dollars as £1 is equal to $1.52 but of course, this will fluctuate from day to day. but it seems to be sitting around that point steadily for now.

I don't have any specific recommendations at the moment, but I have to disagree about the prices. If anything, laptop prices are lower than ever. ----- Original Message ----- From: Walter Ramage <mailto:wpr@blueyonder.co.uk> To: TechTalk@groups.io Sent: Sunday, December 13, 2015 1:59 PM Subject: [TechTalk] Laptops, who is king of the hill? Hi all. In the new year I'm contemplating getting a laptop. It has been a few years since I had one and things have moved on a fair bit since then. However I would like to know which manufacturer is considered to have the best quality products. A few years ago I saw a lot of posts on lists like this moaning and complaining about HP but have they improved? are they considered a good bet for quality and reliability now? There is a lot of differing brands on offer but I'd like to consider your opinions on the various brands and their pros and cons before seeking out a suitable model. I've just looked at one web site and noticed that laptops are still rather expensive. I actually want a laptop rather than a tablet because the hard drives are larger and there is an integral keyboard and more than one USB. I've discounted apple as Apple are too controlling, restrictive and it is a completely new learning curve which I'm not inclined to embark on. I would much prefer win7 as the OS, definitely not Win8. The site I looked at has no Win10 which surprises me so I'll need to go with Win7, stick with what I know I guess. If you have an opinion on the various brands then will you please let me know your thoughts and why you have come to the conclusions you have. With thanks. Walter. ________________________________ Avast logo <http://www.avast.com/> This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com <http://www.avast.com/>
