Advice on buying laptop - Budget €350-€450

Red Rua

Hi,

Just looking for advice on buying a laptop, prefer to buy in a retail store which in my case limits me to Argos, PC World/Currys.

Budget around €400 (or slightly over). Basically just need it for internet, MS Office, photos and music, no gaming requirements.

From looking at this forum I've identified the following which might suit me

TOSHIBA Satellite C850D-107 15.6" Laptop

Leaning towards the HP but any advice appreciated.

The Tosh is the best of the lot and yet the processor is only 1st gen.

At LD you'll get a 15.6" Fujitsu, 2nd gen Core i3, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD, up to 7 hrs battery life for 390 yoyos.
