New laptop

Hi all I think I'm in need of a new laptop. I currently have two one dell one with a broken bezel and cd drive, I could get these fixed but it's a bit laggy anyways and the wire connecting screen to keyboard is broke.

My other laptop is a compaq which I got in 2010. It replaced the dell one as it was old. The compaq is fine part from the overheating which doesn't make the session last for more than 5 mins. Both laptops are quite clunky and chunky.

I am due to get some overtime pay and thought a new laptop from suggestion of mother would be good. I've had a brief look and a eems most laptops now are attachable keyboard style to tablet style. I would like a normal laptop style which isn't thick.

I was looking at MacBooks but wasn't sure if the price is justifiable or not. I'd be doing family history research, surfing net, maybe do some studying in my own time. I have an iPad and iPhone which I use my iPad as a chill out sort of surfing.

Do NHS staff get discounts at all from Apple.

    Have a look at http://www.healthservic!!!!!!!!!!.com/ for NHS discount for Apple

    There are also lots of Windows laptops that aren't 2in1 tablet style, I don't know why you think they are all that is available!

    I recently bought a Lenovo Z50 with an Intel i5 processor and 8GB of RAM for around £400 at Currys and there are plenty of other laptops around £400 with a reasonable spec.
