New Laptop Required

lainie0104

Hi All,

My current laptop (Compaq nc6320) is on its last legs. I'm looking to replace it for around £300. I don't use it for anything much more than surfing the net, and occasional work using Ms Office 2010. Can anyone give me any recommendations?

I've seen this one and can't seem to find any reviews:

HP 255 laptop @ £248 from HP

Any help would be appreciated:)

It's not great. Though not much in the way of new bargains around at the mo.

After a lot of research, I got this one (or very close to this one, I can't remember the exact model) for my daughter-in-law last Christmas:

She's completely over the moon with it and I fiddle with it sometimes--so far so good. It used to be £400 but now I see many online retailers are selling it for £330.

Got this from Asda online but so popular that it's more often than not out of stock. Decent spec for the price.

My elderly Dell laptop is creaking a bit so I'm going to watch this with interest too

I would like to know if saveonlaptops.co.uk are good to deal with as there are some brilliant bargains to be had.

backup, factory restore, 10 minutes later, it will run like new

I've never had any issues with saveonlaptops and have brought several times off them. but as closed says a backup, then factory restore will sort out your laptop

Seen this one on Asda website. Looks a nice laptop but not a techie. Just wondered if looked ok. Seems more expensive on other websites like amazon. Plus I get 10% off as I work there so it would only be around £314.
