Spec me a RED laptop

Lots of Facepalm here but I've got a cousin asking me to find HIM a RED laptop with a budget of 300(ideal)-350(pushing it)

I'm seriously stumped

You can get a dell, 'Inspiron 15' in red, starting from £299 up to £399. I would post the link here, although I think Dell would be classed as a competitor. However, if you go on the Dell (UK Site) and search for the 'Inspiron 15', you'll find it eventually.

Quite a nifty laptop I'd say.

Yeah, thanks guys that's the one he's got his heart set on.

Processor is a bit weak for me - nothing more bang per buck in this price range ?

Lenovo thinkpad edge or X121e both available in red, nearly always a decent voucher code or cashback promo available when buying direct from Lenovo.

The best keyboards bar none (IMHO) and best trackpad this side of £600, always a matt or glossy screen option and normally free colour case choice (red)

Edge:

x121e:

Dell Inspiron 15R or 17R from the Outlet (make sure it's second gen) and buy a red clip on lid.
