hello everybody,

i hope someone will be able to help me. we had a break in in our house, they took all the computers and others stuff and now i am looking for a new one.
the problem is, the insurance company will only pay for the same computer or a similar one.

my PB was 3 years old and now no shop sell it.

here is my problem:

i need a similar Packard bell, with the same characteristics than mine.
if it is not possible, even if only one thing doesn't match, i can go for the slightly above. i won't buy anything under these conditions.

i mainly use my computer for pictures processing, video games (wow, the witcher, assassin creed), doing a lot of things at the same time (music player, msn, internet, photoshop, etc)

i don't understand anything about graphic card and others.

all help will be very appreciated.

here you have my stolen computer characteristics:

Did a quick search on google.
This sony give similar/ slightly higher spec with PB
http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/87061....html?_$ja=tsid:11518|cat:8706156|prd:8706156

deduct difference of cost of 320GB and 250GB = GPB 1

http://www.ebuyer.com/263754-toshiba-250gb-2-5-sata-ii-hard-drive-5400rpm-8mb-cache-mk2576gsx

difference between DDR2 3GB RAM (2+1) and 4GB RAM (2 + 2) = GBP 5.53

Or you go with current spec with similar performance
According to passmark
T6400 score 1337
P360 score 1338
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=Intel+Core2+Duo+T6400+@+2.00GHz

For video card
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3430 G3D Rating 111
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 G3D rating 136
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php

So the new laptop you need to find is 15" with AMD Athlon II P360, HD 4250, 3GB RAM, 250GB HDD
I did a google search, PB don't have this availiable
So the nearest you can find are

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=LT-066-DE&utm_source=froogle

Or alterantively, you look for Acer laptop with intel C2D CPU, because Acer own PB
http://www.saverstore.com/product/2...70--22GHz-2GB-250GB-156-inch-HD-LED-LCD-DVD-S

I think you first try to present the sony case first, to see if they accept.
If not, try the second/ third approach.
But I recommend you take cash and get a slightly better laptop yourself
