Bad news - dropped laptop last night :mad:

Good news - I'm able to claim on insurance

Bad bad news - I got to buy it from *shops*!!! :mad:

The laptop I dropped was about 3-4 years old and not very expensive (Acer Aspire 1363 ).

I got about £400 to spend on a replacement, so any suggestions please??

Many Thanks in advance
