Searching for a new laptop- £350 budget

beachlou

Hello,

I'm on the search for a new laptop and wondered if anyone had any recommendations please.

I mainly use it for internet browsing, don't play games, store a lot photos/documents. I currently have a 12.1" and quite like the size. I'm not sure whether I want to go for a standard 15.6" one but will consider for the right price.

My max budget is £350.
I've seen this Sony-any good? They're offering £15 off £200 and free delivery on Sonys.

Thank you. I am a bit clueless when it comes to spec.
Will have a look at the Dell. Looks like a good saving.

That's what I bought my daughter last Friday. (Her requirements were 15" screen and lots of storage space).

I find that web page very confusing - does THAT laptop have a touch screen or not?

More fun with touch
Windows 8 is designed especially for touch - the fluid new interface gives you the look and feel of a tablet, but with the powerful capabilities of a PC. Swipe and tap through your morning news. Zoom in and out of images using gesture. Anything that you do on the Inspiron 15 feels more fun when you add the optional 15.6" touchscreen.

Ah. I wonder how much that adds to the price?

Personally if I wanted a touch screen I`d buy a tablet.

Normally I'd agree. However we got our other daughter an 11.6" laptop with touch screen recently - Windows 8 starts to make some semblance of sense once a touch screen comes into the equation.

Have had a look and I like it but can't seem to see the button to actually buy it :huh:
