The Best Budget Laptops in the UK
There is so much information available when making a purchasing decision, often complex and technical, that often consumers are too bewildered and confused to make rational decisions. The Recommended Directory (www.recommended.net) has scanned a number of authorative sources to identify their recommenations for Budget Laptops in the UK, and set these out in the table below.
The Gadget Show
Compaq Presario CQ60 – 313SA

All these laptops should be priced below £500, and broadly of a similar spec, with screen sizes in excess of 15 inches (Below this size they will be classed as Notebooks). Of course, there will be deals and variations in specifications from those tested at different times. As can be seen, there is a wide variety of laptops recommended, but those set out below are all highly rated by the respective testers, and the ultimate choice will be down to availability and individual preference for the detailed specifications.
On balance, we’d go for the Acer Aspire 5536 , (click for more information), which is recommended by Cnet, TechRadar and What Laptop. The Acer Aspire 5536 is a 15.6 inch display laptop, with an AMD Turion RM-74 2.2 GHz processor, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD, and Vista Home Premium (offers on upgrade to Windows 7 may be available).
