My Laptop finally gave up the ghost last night and died after getting very hot and making a funky smell and so i'm looking to replace it.
It was a Sony Vaio SZ3 so was pretty well specced and expensive when i bought it 4 years ago, i know i can't spend a lot this time round but i'm looking for something with a similar feel to it so same 13" ish screen and runs multiple office windows easily, it doesn't need to run games though really and preferably with a decent battery life.
So far i think i've narrowed my search down to the
Acer Timeline X 4820T with the i3-380m
or
MSI X370 with the AMD E-350
Both have 4GB Memory & quote ~8hrs battery life, HDD space isn't important really as i'm hoping to put my 60GB SSD in there as soon as, though as i type this i've just realised that will invalidate any warranty.
I was also looking at the Dell Vostro V13 from their outlet for a while but the battery life is only ~2hours, i would still consider this one if the machine is of considerably better build quality.
My budget is £450 so if there's anything else out there suggestions would be appreciated.
Other than that which on my shortlist do you guys feel would be most suitable?
