Hi folks,
Help!!!
Am looking for a new lap-top - ideally less than £400.
I have been looking for the last couple of weeks as its all a new education looking into the specs etc. But!! Then each time i think i have decided on one the price has changed or it has been removed!
Its for the usual email,web, microsoft office, you-tube, photos etc.
Do you guys know the best deals? I get really annoyed when shops will say - £50 off - then when you read the mall writing - its only cos they advertised it for one month at the higher price.
Totally lost!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated - wether its best manufactureres-specs-places to buy etc.:rotfl:
Thanks
Michelle

I got mine for £340ish with Windows 8.1, 1TB hard drive and 8GB of RAM. You can get Open Office FOC online. Mine is a toshiba something or another.

Good warranty - Check out business laptop from dell outlet if you don't mind refurb. They offer 3 year warranty. Look for 3rd/ 4th gen i3/ i50 -
I was going to suggest the HP Pavilion 15, but Cisco001 has a link to a version of it with better specs for the same money0
