Need help with a laptop?!?

Question

Hi I am a student and am looking to buy a laptop next week. I will be using it as my main computer at home so will have to be pretty good. I am really just looking for opinions on the best in my price range or for any links to good cheap laptop sites. I live in the UK and want to spend about £300 at most.

Thanks for helping me out.

If your looking for a windows based laptop, then go with LENOVO.  Their Think Pads are great for school.  They are a bit more pricey then most budget line models, like Compaq.  Its a great investment!!!

Answer 8

You are unlikely to get anything too special for £300. However, you can get a reasonable one for that cost although they tend to be a bit cheap in quality.

If you want good speed, go for a Dual Core Processor, 2 GB of RAM (1 GB is adequate), at least 80 GB of Disk Space (120 GB + better).

You won't find a good graphics card with anythin laptop that costs £300 so playing bigger Games may be a problem - you would use your laptop for work and browsing the Internet mainly if you are only willing to spend £300.

If you want better specs for the same price, you may wish to consider a Desktop PC instead - they tend to be more powerful and cheaper.

Answer 9

You will get nothing for £300, try a The money shop or cash shop, there similar to pawn brokers, i got a beautiful one for £150 and installed Xp pro on it.
