Good Laptop for IT Student + Leisure

justcallmemoses

I'm in 3rd year college looking for something that is quick enough to do college work but also the regular browsing etc.

I would like something with maybe
- Intel i-3 processor
- min 4GB RAM
- 320-500GB HD
- 13 -15 inch
- good enough battery life would be a +

any good deals along those lines?

or have people any other recommendations?

I don't want something massive size wise

Not much between them. Bigger screen, smaller HDD and marginally slower processor... a sound offer for a B&M store.

Just noticed that. If you want to spend a bit more, Argos have a Core i5 HP for €515 (and it's available)

Komplett.ie, Dabs.ie, Elara.ie, laptopsdirect.ie are "Irish" web shops selling laptops.

If you want to go shopping abroad, try saveonlaptops.co.uk or computeruniverse.net (Germany).
