Decent Laptops?

[Bazinga]

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a laptop considering I'll be going away to University later this year (hopefully) and it'll be quite akward having to take my current desktop PC to student halls. The only problem is that I have a very small budget (£300). The best one I've found is this:

which has a decent amount of processing power and memory.

Any other suggestions of laptops that are £300 or less would be helpful and I'd appreciate it so much .

N.B. £300 works out at about $470 USD.

I would recommend the HP Pavilion G-Series. I currently own one, and have never had a problem with it - I got mine for $380 USD, and Best Buy has the G6 on sale for $400 right now, I personally like AMD processors better than intel, that's just me though.

Never get AMD processors, the pc I'm currently using has dual core AMD athlon processors and my CPU usage using only ONE browser (chrome) and only one tab open is at 100% on one, and 90-92%, and that's not running anything else either.
just sitting here on google.
my other computer that has 1 intel processor runs at about 7% with the same situation.

Thats maybe because your CPU is old and slower?

I live in the UK so shipping costs would be astronomical. I would also prefer a new laptop.

Oh right , sorry.

 

[Bazinga]

Oh right , sorry.

Thanks anyway for the suggestion, all I really want to know are makes, models and rough prices. I can find out where to buy them myself.

It's a 2011 computer?

This is supposed to be a thread about laptop suggestions, not about your thoughts regarding processors... come on guys

What sorta thing you looking to do on your PC? Gaming, coding ect. If you want a coding laptop, get a netbook (N150 Plus - My coding Netbook).

With a laptop, I pre-assume you would do both (If you can code), so I couldn't really recommend one for that, as I don't really game. But Lenovo is good choice to go with!

That Fujistu looks exactly mine but abit crapper But Still, go for what you think...

What applications are you planning to run?

More just general gaming, browsing the internet etc. As I said, I'm going to University so not going to be using it 24/7.

I could have a look for some laptops if you want later on? Lenovo' Laptops are the best to go with what you are using to be honest.

Well i have an cousin his in uni too and he needs a lappy and i think Acer Is The Best...

I prefer HP Laptops, I would recommend against Lenovo because my mother has one. I don't like the ergonomics of her laptop and the specs can get to be pretty bad. In the end it's up to you, but I would really recommend looking at Best Buy's selections. If you don't want HP, my next recommendation is going to be a Toshiba.
