Laptop Help

Threebabes

Hi

Looking for a new laptop, mines bit the dust .

I am after any advice please. I have seen one in argos, but not sure if it will be any good?

All i use it for is the odd letter, now and then a simple spreadsheet (home finances), and the internet most of all etc.

Would spend up to £300 but would rather keep it to about £250.

Anyone recc how gb I would need? Thank You :beer:

Lifeforms

That is a netbook. it may be slow running windows and other stuff like spreadsheets, and you will find it fantastic to do large spreadsheets on the 11 inch screen It wont have a CD/DVD drive either.

You still have to dole out £380.

No, you'll be the only person owning one.....


Seriously, why not try the thing out for yourself? They have a full warranty, including the usual 'no quibble' return within seven working days of delivery.

Also in Red if you prefer.

The specs indicate a good basic laptop. My mum has it's predecessor with a similar spec. She plays Flash games, watches films and YouTube, together with all of the usual Office usage.

Caveats: Colour(the black and the white ones have already sold out) and the fact that it is not clear as to whether you will receive Windows 7 or Windows 8(Not a problem IMO, as either is fine).

I would have taken one in black for myself had I needed a laptop. No need to spend more for the 'average' user..

Let's us know what you think once it arrives.
