airgunalex Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I am in need of a laptop for uni as my old dell one has seen better days! My budget is about £350 give or take a bit. A 15" screen seems about the right size if i'm going to use it in lectures and not take up too much space! needs to have a fairly decent size hard drive and a decent amount of ram. What do you think? Thanks! Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argos are doing good deals on them at the moment. +1(Mine is the 5742, but hey we`ll not argue) and remember that you can get MS office pro cheap if you are a kosher student @ under £40 Edited August 30, 2011 by henry d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
