Hi Guys

I need to get a laptop nothing to fancy just needs to be quick and last a year or so. The applications that will be stored on the laptop are accounting software, MS office, drop box and emails. The only reason I picked this is because its from a shop as I wouldn't have a clue about specs etc and its within my budget.

I'd rather take my €350 and buy a brand new laptop running windows 8.1 complete with a guaranteed working battery and a full warranty.

Accounting software and no numeric keypad isn't very practical. All the new 15.6 inch laptops have numeric keypads as standard now.
