Decent Laptop

PTH2009

im looking for a decent laptop, mainly used for Music, Internet and a few video editing softwares from time to time. Most i will spend will be E250-E300

My pc of 8 years is about to kick the bucket and i think buying a laptop would be better and less bulk

Was in Soundstore and saw a HP 14 Red Laptop with Internet Security and a Case for E479.99, it has no Disc Drive though but i could live with that

Went over my budget a bit but lots of cheap ones look terrible

So much for your budget of €250-€300!

And you didn't exactly wait very long for someone to recommend you a bargain...!

Since the OP sorted himself out, might as well hijack.

I'm looking for a decent laptop / PC / all-in-one computer to replace my dying PC. Would like a decent processor (i5 or equivalent) and would rather SSD but not a deal breaker. I've checked out a few B&M shops, and a few places online but nothing jumps out as good value. Budget would be <€700, preferably around the 600mark.

If its a desktop do you need a monitor?
What type of use will it get?

I have a monitor, but if I get a desktop I'll prob get a second screen as Im used to double screen now. It'll be used for heavy use office programs (excel databases and analysis), CAD, a bit of gaming, downloading and general use. So doesn't need to be overly powerful but want it to last. Will have a look at that site.
