Hello everyone.
My laptop recently broke and I am looking for a second hand one for around 200euro.

What I need it for:
College work. So Microsoft word etc
General browsing. Youtube, facebook, email, i-tunes, Netflix etc.

Just wondering does anyone have any tips for what websites to use to find good deals.
What brands should I look for/ and what brands should I avoid?
Is there any other things I should look for? Such as RAM or memory or whatever?

Thanks a lot. Much appreciated

Where are you based?

Go on adverts.ie and search in your area is the best bet.

Can't really recommend anything until we know where you're based

For those uses, this is 250 delivered and it's brand new with full warranty, good buy.
