• Office Laptop for £350 or Under?
    4 replies, posted
Hi, can anyone recommend a decent office laptop (not notebook) for under £350? Doesn't matter if it comes without an OS. I did take a look at this [url]http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/genesisV/[/url] removed the OS, added a 120GB SSD, 8GB RAM and the better CPU but after some research the CPU is a bit underpowered. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What sort of tasks do you plan to use it for? My dad bought a Lenovo B50-30 which was 299 euros (274,94 pounds), and so far I am quite impressed with it. If you only plan to use it for browsing a bit, and using Microsoft Office, I think it will do well enough. This one has a 500 GB SATA3 drive, 4GB of DDR3-SODIMM, a Intel Celeron N2840 and a 4 cell battery which I managed to squeeze slightly longer than 4 hours from. Only word of advice in case you'd plan to get it; nuke the Windows 8.1 installation immediately, and install a fresh copy. Because it came with loads of bloatware.
get a thinkpad on ebay for a hundred quid
Yeah you can just pick up a used T420 for dirt cheap. Decent definition 14" screen, i5 processor, 8gb RAM with a lot of models. I got mine for under 300 USD.
