Looking to buy a new laptop as the old one is on the last legs and has probably had a good innings (keyboard worn out & having to use an external one these days, screen/casing cracked)
Current system – 6 year old Dell Vostro 1510 (300gb hd [about 225gb used], 3gb ram, Intel Core2 Duo processor)
Mobile Usage – usually at home and on the house wifi, rarely on the move/roaming
Power/Battery – nearly always run off the mains rather than battery
Mostly use the laptop for spreadsheets, word processing and surfing the net.
Suggestions welcome please……..

Price range?0

no budget constraints
stating the obvious i wouldn't want to pay for something better than i need but no objection to paying for quality, if it lasts six years like the last one all good0 -
I've been using Medion (both for PCs and laptops) for years, and always found them excellent.
There's a fair range to choose from (I've got a nifty little E1317T, 10.1", which even came with a full version of Office 2013), at quite reasonable prices.0
