    Tbh saveonlaptops seem to offer great prices on nearly all their laptops.

    The one you've picked out is no exception, but I wouldn't get it simply because there are often even better deals on their website than this one.


    It all depends on what you're looking for, this has a dedicated GPU which isn't really up to much. I'm in the market for a laptop which can do a bit of casual gaming and although you're paying for the dedicated GPU this wouldn't suffice.

    They had a Dell with a much better GPU for only £299 last week, which would be better than this for my needs.


    If you're not looking to do any gaming then I'd probably just go with something with integrated graphics and save yourself a bit of doe or improve the other specs which might be more worthwhile for your needs.

    Well my netbook needs to be retired (broken hinges and charger), so was looking for a replacement. Was looking at a Lenovo netbook, but for not a huge amount of money more, it looks like I could pick up a much better performing laptop.

    It wont be used for gaming, it'll just be used for usual stuff, web, skype, music etc. But I detest slow laptops, so just can't come up with something to buy which will fill my needs and not break the bank. Current netbook has an 11.6 inch screen, so I don't want any smaller, and the biggest I will go is a 15 inch laptop. Decisions decisions :confused:

    I'm on the hunt for a netbook myself, and on that site the sanding n145 is only £195. seems like great deal.

    Tbh the only reason I didn't go for that Dell I was talking about earlier was because it was a regular sized 15.6" laptop and I find them just too big for real convenient portability.
    So I'm waiting it out for a good 13" or lower laptop to come on the market which fits my needs and budget.

    There are some great lenovo cashback deals at the moment,
    http://www.kikatek.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=153&products_id=173401

    You should find out whether or not the 3year warranty is valid to Ireland or not, if it is, then this is one of the best deals I've seen for a good while.

    Great Build quality, good processor, good amount of ram(cheaply upgradable) and a 3 year warranty is really excellent at this price point. :)
