Laptop - particularly if your plugging in a monitor

[Rowee]

Hi all

I think this is a bargain, I hope so cos I just bought it

Laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad, £499, Spec is

Processor Intel® Core™ i3-2330M processor (2.3GHz, 1333MHz, 3MB Cache)
Operating System Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit
RAM 8GB DDR3
Graphics card NVIDIA® N12P-GV1
PCI-Express x16
Screen resolution 1366X768
Screen size 15.6
Hard drive Western Digital, 500G, 5400rpm, SATA
Optical disk drive Super multi
Reading
USB 3
WiFi Non-Intel 1 x 1 b/g/n
Video interface VGA, HDMI
Webcam 2.0 MP

Note the screen resolution, it looks fine to me, but I will be sure to plug in my high res monitor for editing photos. Its fast, completely silent, and very cool (as in not overheating).

Believe it or not, it's from PC world (or Curreys etc)

So far it's been absolutely fantastic and a real bargain.

Be aware it is a refurbished machine and DSG don't have the best reputation when it comes to refurbished items but mine arrived in as new condition but just not in it's original box.
