Mike Reed Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hi AllHaving just had my HP lap top die on me (purchased in 2006) what would anybody like to recommend as a suitable replacement for showing PTE AV's. Ideas from the UK would be best as I guess not all World Wide models are available here in the uk Price in the £ 500/600 bracket. My existing projector only has 15 pin D type imputMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Mike,I think that you need to specify a few more details - price?Most of my friends and I have opted for SONY and there is a good range of prices there.One of the main factors (in our case) is that HDMI output is standard.Reliability, IMHO is as good as you'll get anywhere.DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Yachtsman1 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I've had two Sony & one Samsung in the last 10 years, the Sony's seem to have built in obsolescence after 3 years, but the 4 year old Samsung is still being used as my back up slide show machine after the Ram was up-rated to 4GB. I bought a portable desk top earlier this year as I couldn't find a laptop with which I thought would keep up with development speed at a price under £1500. If you are going for a LT with W7, use the 64 bit Professional OS or above & at least 8GB Ram.Yachtsman1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
