Laptop spec

[R-evans]

Thinking about selling my iPad and getting a laptop.

Will this spec be good and fast for just general laptop usage?

- Intel Core i3-3217U 1.8GHz
- 4GB RAM + 500GB HDD
- Intel® HD Graphics 4000
- Windows 8 64bit

£400 (maybe add a SSD too)

Or should I go i5 for £100 more?

Is portability on your list of wants? Or getting the most from Windows 8?

Have a look at the Asus Vivobook s200e Core i3 model.

Very reasonably priced too.

That's what I am looking at I have Win8 on my desktop so not that bothered about OS and will be in the house most of the time, taken out now and again.

Kinda want the bigger screen you get with the i5 though. Although 11" is bigger than my iPad screen.

Not a fan of the HP/AMD.
