I need a laptop - Please help !

6541

This question gets asked loads - so apologies, I am looking for a good all rounder laptop for everyday use / college - no gaming. Can anyone recommend a good work horse. My budget is around 700 euro. Also I need office, any advice on that. Thanks for reading.

I think I previously posted this in the incorrect forum - Mods apologies for this.

this asus zenbook is very good value in your range (£600)

all metal case

i5 with xe graphics

decent screen

office you'll have to get separately - either office 365 or an offline licence

or there are free office suites that would work for you - some even from microsoft

none, zero, nada

Amazon are fully compliant for selling into Ireland post brexit

UK Vat will be taken off that price and Irish VAT put on at checkout but it's labelled as "import charges" but it's Irish VAT - same as you'd pay here

price will go out a little due to higher Irish VAT rate
