Help choosing budget laptop

    Sorry for asking this but I'm getting a headache from looking up laptops and truly haven't a clue!

    Here's my situation (as per sticky)

    Budget: €350 - 400

    Intended use: College work and streaming of Netflix, Youtube, etc. I would like to be able to play some basic games (like the Humble Bundle games) although it wouldn't be the end of the world

    Mobility: As long as it could fit in a backpack, I would be fine - I have lectures in a lot of places across Dublin :(

    Warranty: Not particularly, although I would like to be reassured that if a problem that wasn't my fault occurred that I could send it back

    What Operating System do you use? Windows

    Thanks in advance :)

    Yeah, I've been going back and forward between that and a Lenovo G505?

    I just don't know which one would be better?

    I haven't really looked much farther than these two though.

    Go for the Asus - Slightly better specs

    I prefered the Asus myself, but when I looked up the processor on cpucompare.net, it looked as though the Lenovo was a good bit better? Is it worth it for the price though?

    cpubenchmark.net? The Lenovo G505's AMD A4 processor - inferior to the i3 in the Asus
