    Hi folks,

    Just lookin for a bit of advice on a laptop. Looking to replace my old one which has to be scrapped :(

    I pretty much only need it for college work so but if Microsoft office, emails, web surfing etc. nothing to strenuous.
    I'm looking for something with decent battery life and would preferably like a 15' inch screen.

    I'm also looking to keep it below €400.

    I have seen this laptop ->http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/Toshiba_Satellite_Pro_C660-2DN_1143384.html and think its pretty good value.

    Just wondering wondering if I'm correct in saying this??

    Any help would be much appreciated!!!
