New Laptop Lightweight and Long Battery Life

Anne_Marie_2

You might consider an Asus Vivobook S400 which gets good reviews.

and http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00B2I6E2W/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=computers

The above are both Windows 8.

The Vivobook s200 is lighter weight, but doesn't go above an i3 processor.

Any comments?

asus looks like exactly what you are after price point is very good as well. also is windows 7 not the dreaded win 8 plenty reviews about that if search around. if i where you i'd go for it you would be daft not too imho.

Seems the consensus is that this is a good deal

Getting ready to pull the trigger the only thing holding me back is I do not really need a laptop until mid June

I am just wondering if in that 6 weeks another model comes up that has a better screen/spec for similar money

Think that most of us have been there, but only you can make that decision.:)

Only just noticed you are in Cyprus

Are you a fellow Greek Cypriot or an ex-pat or connected to the Military?

That's near Limassol? I'm quite a bit away on the north coast, much quieter up here. We shied away from the busy towns, although nice to go into them once in a while for a spot of shopping and a bit more excitement.

Have you made up your mind whether to buy or not yet?

Was just ordering when your response came through

Its done now - I took the 5 day delivery option to allow for cancellation if anything special comes up

Glad that you are sorted out, am sure it will be a great buy, and I don't think that you will get anything in that class, near that price. Had considered getting one a few months back, but the price at the time was over my budget, would definitely have gone for it now, if I was on the market looking for something.
