You mentioned that you generaly want it for home. Having a top of the bill machine is nice but expensive, but you should really first figure out what you are going to use it for. Example....are you going to use it for gaming and graphics....or just simple internet acces and some word processing? People have a tence to buy overkill machines where only 15% of the resources of the machine is used....a waste of money if you ask me

There are many good systems for a good price in the market and if you know what you are going to do with the machine it might save you a couple of 100 euro's.

Games = XBox, PC or PS3 not Laptop.

I have a Sony Vaio, tidy machine, but a little over priced really.

Acer's are ok, Toshiba are decent, HP are good.

[paliometoxo]

HP is good they have great driver support also for all platforms and 32 and 64bit versions also sony vaio is very reliable imo. i would stay away fro, acer they are not reliable . i had three all broke after a year and i am a very carefull user.

but z4 is right i would look to the uk you would get a better deal and better specs for less.

I'm a DELL fan myself and the reason is that I have a next day onside warranty on it when it breaks down. And they do come the next day....has been tested But that's for the Netherlands. Now for Cyprus that would be different I geuss. You still did not clarify what you're going to use the machine for. Do you want a compact machine? Are you going to travel with it or is it just for simple home usage and size does not matter?

[DANGAMAN]

Home use, want a fast machine with lots of memory good speakers and a web cam... must have a HDMI too!!!
