Has anyone got a decent new laptop for a good price recntly? You seem to be able to buy one for between 3 and 4 hundred quid theese days, but are they up to the job? Im no computer lover so dontwant anything fancy, just need it to be reliable, good for typing documents, emails, coming on here and the ability to play a cd/dvd without it sounding like its going to blow up! Oh and it would be nice if i could make it talk to my samsung phone and tablet,thanks, William.

If you look on the Dell website, their low cost range of laptops are ideal for basic use - I use the basic Dell model for a lot of different applications (including design work) and they do the job just fine :) I also connect it via bluetooth and cables to cameras, phones etc, and there is an SD card slot in them usually.

 

I think they're about £2-300 and you can add extra stuff to the basic model (for example, a better graphics card). They don't come with Office, but they do come with Windows 8 - you could use the online version of office with it if you didn't want to pay for it too, as Office can be around £2-300 as well.

If you know a student you can get office at half price

 

I had to buy apple last month, and just walked up of couple of likely lads in the store

One was student and "borrowed" his ID for £20 and got 16% discount

All he had to do was flash his ID at scanner

 

Everybody happy

 

Hi mate that's the way mate thanks Jon
