Help with a new laptop.
Have seen a new laptop for £400 which has 6GB RAM and 750GB HDD. It has intel i3-2330M which I think is sandybridge architecture 3MB. It has DVD/CD writer, Bluetooth, 10/100 Mbps Fast ethernet, webcam/mic. I am not very technical and wonder if this sounds a good deal. Anyone who can advise please.
