Hi!

I wonder if someone could help. Like many others, I have no clue which laptop to buy....

I am looking for:

Windows 7
As fast as possible when surfing the internet
Long battery life before need to recharge
Lots of space for music storage

I would like to spend between £300 and £450 if possible.

Can any of you lovely experts advise what would be a good one for me to buy??

Many thanks in advance!!!

Okay so I answered my own question and got an Acer aspire one - had to get a refurb as the linux ones are thin on the ground now, but it came in at £119 so pretty happy with that

Sony Vaio & Dell Laptops are Going well in Laptop sales now. But Sony Vaio is too Costly.

Sony recently released a Sony vaio X Series which is an Excellent Slim. But if You Hear about the Cost :think:
