Good deal for a laptop?

BreakingBadLad

Hi all,
I was just wondering is this a good deal for a laptop?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-G580-15-6-inch-Laptop-Blue/dp/B00B2HVYSW/ref=pd_ts_zgc_computers_429886031_1?ie=UTF8&s=computers&pf_rd_p=359338767&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-right-3&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=429886031&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=76959E2BEBF44661904B

I'm no expert but...

I think that you could get a better processor for the same money.
Amazon.de is cheaper than .co.uk, and has, for example, an i5 acer for 400e (i think you have to wait for a month or two to get it though, not sure why).

There's also an i5 lenovo, (n581 though, not the g580) for 430e.
You could get a pentium acer for about 300 too I think.

The keyboard markings will be slightly different I think but you could fix that with a few stickers sure!
Also, some of the better value computers there come with linux or dos rather than windows, which could be a good or bad thing depending on your pov.

Anyway, shop around...laptopsdirect, saveonlaptops have probly got slightly cheaper comps than amazon.co.uk.
There's plenty of good advice in this forum too...

Good luck with it!
