    What is a good option for a small, light laptop or notebook for college? seen a few in Harvey Norman with office installed for 1 year for between €200-250, backing up to cloud.
    Anyone any experience on what I should buy?

    what course you doing? have you access to a charging point? do you need to carry it far? what is your budget? do you plan on using the machine for anything other then college work?

    will be fine for the basics. You might find macros to be quite slow but not the end of the world. Just remember ya need the internet EVERYWHERE to use it

    if you are in college and have college email address you will get microsoft office for free as long as you have the email address so dont be buying office. as far as the computer goes you will be able to get a decent one for 400 euros.
