new laptop

[ryan123hanna]

hi guys

looking for a new laptop.....

£300-499

dont need anything too powerful, uses include wordprocessing, some simple lighroom editing and surfing the net

would like good battery life and small compact laptop suitable for travelling and chucking in a bag

any ideas?

thanks

Have a look on Dells website.. Inspiron 15R Special Edition would be a good laptop to get, dell outlet could mean a cheaper on, as its perhaps a little over your budget...

Dell do a nice range of affordable yet well spec laptops..

any of the acers or lenovos worth looking at?

certainly between HP and DELL for your requirement...its almost sales time, you might get a great bargain if you wait slightly longer, you never know

The 15R is a chunky ugly thing, certainly not good for chucking in a bag and travelling!

There is an Acer Aspire V5 (15.6") (NX.M3NEK.004) i5-3317U 1.7GHz, GT620M, 4Gb, 500Gb - comes in around £499 iirc.

Or an Acer Aspire S3-391 (13.3") Ultrabook (Intel Core i5 3317U 1.7GHz, 4Gb, 500Gb) for around £515

Have a look at my thread about the Lenovo Z580s; http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18461441
