Hi,

I am after a suitable laptop for up to $1000 AUD (or very close to)
It wont be used for gaming. It will be used for browsing, programs , images etc and also backing up work.

I would like something fairly fast with a good sized screen and quality of screen too.
The battery is also very important and the laptop build , hoping for something that will last a few years. Not very experienced with laptops… Any help / suggestions appreciated, thanks!

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to decide between Acer Aspire or Dell inspiron below.

Can you recommend which one is better ? I'm wanting something that will last me and that I can use everyday programs, watch movies , etc. Screen size and quality is important, fairly fast fluid use and battery life too.

I am willing to spend up to $800. Im also open to other recommendations too. Thank you.

    Be nice, just post the link.
    It's https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/431744
    Besides, they're different requests. The thread from 2 days ago mentions gaming and more specific requirements.

  Check out the Dell Outlet if you don't mind refurb / as new condition.
