    Looking for a new laptop as I'm currently using a pretty old one which is starting to run a bit slow. Found this on HUKD and apparently looks a good deal. Mainly looking for a laptop that will run everyday stuff and multimedia well, and some older games (Left 4 Dead etc, not expecting to run GTAV or anything).

    Don't really know anything about laptops so any input on wheter it seems a good laptop or not would be appreciated! If anybody knows any better alternatives, I'd be willing to spend up to around 600-700e if there are laptops that are far superior in that range.

    Looks alright to me. You are aware it doesnt come with Windows?

    Yup, I've no experience with Ubuntu but I have a friend in college who once blagged on about it being much better than Windows to me. Also I wasn't a fan of the little experience I have with Windows 8 so I'd be willing to get used to Ubuntu :)

    Well to get started with Ubuntu this should be perfect because it will be preinstalled and all the hardware will be configured and _should_ be working.

    We will look forward to seeing you over in the Unix forum.
