    Hi,

    I also need to get a new laptop. Been reading lots of posts and trying to understand all the lingo to help me pick one but am finding it all a bit confusing! :confused:

    I'll use it for Microsoft office, music, photos, watching films. tv online etc
    Nothing too fancy. (Would like if MS office was included.

    Have read about the new processors and have v basic understanding of RAM etc. I dont have a clue about difference between Windows 7 or 8..do I want Windows 8?

    I've always had a Dell, my friend has a Sony and thinks its great. I dont want to spend a fortune on it max I'm willing to go is 600, would be far happier with 400-500 mark though.

    Any advice would be so greatly appreciated!

    ASUS K56CA, 15.5" display, Core i5 ULV processor, 21 mm thin, not too heavy (2.3 kg), good battery life, €540 at Argos.
    Sleek Design with Full Functionality

    The ASUS K56CA grey hairline design gives this notebook a professional look. In spite of its slimness it does not shed critical features necessary for everyday use such as an optical drive or 3 USB ports and a SD card reader. ASUS has focused on build quality, giving the exterior a strong rigid finish and a one-piece molded top casing. In terms of audio, ASUS has included its Sonic Master technology offering powerful sound and a rich base.
