    Hey I need a computer for college, a laptop would be great since I dont have much space. I will need it for word documents excell documents etc, Adobe photosshop (I have that cd) and I would love it to have a cd burner and if it could play dvd's. Decent memory (maybe 40 gigs), good RAM, and internet capable would be great.

    Now here is the catch, I want to spend as little as possible! Like I was hoping to spend under a grand, closer to €500, can anyone recomend one to me?

    Do you want to buy in Ireland or are you willing to have one sent from UK (where the choice tends to be larger) ?

    I suppose I would be open to it. I would rather Ireland, but if its two different computers for the same money...

    You want a minimum of 512mb ram tbh - if you really want a cheap laptop, buy the cheapest one available and then buy 1gb of ram and fit it yourself :)
