Guys find me a laptop

[Waitey]

Smaller than 14" screen
7 pro 64bit
High end I5 or an I7.
8GB ram
250gig HD

Must fit in a dock, and must be able to run two screens from that dock.

Must come in at under £999+vat

Specs+Dock you're asking too much for £1k imo. Dockable laptops come with a premier attached, nearest thing on a quick search with a Dell Lattitude E6420 £1020 is a mid range sandybridge i5 and 4GB of ram. Haven't looked at HP but 6 months ago they were the same.

Then there's the cost of the dock attached too, most of the new dell docks will run two monitors no problem.

The 999+vat is excluding the dock.

Or if you want to be cheeky, you can get a 2012 Air for £970 with the 8GB RAM on student discount.

No cheekyness, work are paying for it.

Dont get a port replicator as we've had nothing bug niggles/issues with them.

 

[bmh.01]

What issues Don? Ones we have have been ok barring users not docking them properly.

The ones we've had were nasty Lenovo ones...and they would have issues whereby the cursor would go to top right of screen in Word and render mouse unusable. They were crock of s**t. Prefer docking stations all day long.

They may not be pretty but I'd be buying a Lenovo of some sort, either something like a t420 or whatever the equiv of that is now, or take a look at the x series.

Build like tanks and good support for them.

The dells aren't bad either, I just prefer the think pads.
