New laptop

smilgy · 2012-08-20 11:25:37

So offers came out today for college and I got my course. Now am looking to buy a new laptop for college work as I'm sure it will be needed. Anybody have any ideas ? Not sure of a budget yet but looking into mid-range laptops.

I'm in the market too for a laptop now and this is perfect.
Does anyone know if this model is available in the Irish stores on sale?
