Laptop Recommendations

kala85

Looking to get a new laptop over the christmas. Can anybody recommend a new laptop to me please or where I could get a good deal. Budget is around 400e and will just be used mainly for internet surfing and office applications but may need vga port to connect to whiteboard or projector.

im currently looking at this

300 euro it works out as. maybe 310. but they dont ship ireland. its 380 dollars on frys.com but i am trying to find details if they are a reliable website at the moment
even if there is 40-50 euro shipping on that a 3rd gen i3, and 2x usb 3.0 ports is pretty awesome for a laptop imo. i have a lenovo already for 2 years, bought similar to this and theyre a fairly reliable laptop and i cant see why this is so cheap but not complaining. the equivalents in uk stores and ireland are 450 euro which is a bummer if i cant get this!

asus also cheap, less reliable imo from past dealings. but maybe they have come on. if someone else has suggestions plz post em

Newer Ivy i3 than other one i linked and windows 8, must have only went up on site, no reviews, only slightly more expensive, either will do fine and last good few years before being outdated.

Look around you'll get more reviews but spec will be different on all of them so just read highlights, lenovo and Asus are to of the better makes at the minute, I'd be happy with either.
