Recommend a laptop

FocusFord · 2014-11-23 22:29:02

Hi, I'm looking for the best laptop in terms of performance for €300-450. I will probably replace the hard drive with an ssd if it doesn't come with one. So unless it contains an ssd, the hard drive isn't an important factor.

You can forget getting an SSD at that budget I would say. If that's the case, would your 450 budget still be for the laptop only? Or is the SSD price included?

Ya that would be for laptop only. I'll probably spend 80 or so on an ssd then.

This could be a good option OP, considering it's for a 4th Gen i3
