Buying a new laptop
« on: February 20, 2006, 07:17:23 PM »
I'm thinking of buying a new laptop for stress analysis work (Ansys), design using 3d cad (Solidworks), and general day-to-day stuff.

I'm really not arsed about gaming, it doesn't float my boat, but I'll need reasonable 3d capabilities for the design stuff.
Processor needs to be capable of lots floating point operations.
The more memory the better.
The lower the cost the better.
Oh, and in the UK.

Any suggestions of good retailers?  Cost is a real issue, but I'd rather pay £50 more and know I have the support.

I don't know what's what in world of laptops at all - any suggestion of model/makes?  Have had bad experience with toshiba, so will be staying away from them.
