Laptop Recommendation

whodafunk · 2017-01-03 13:11:00

Hi All, Looking to get a new laptop. Budget €500 there or thereabouts. Looking for something with a decent processor, RAM and SSD drive if possible. Main use is for home use - web browsing, working with documents, storing photo's/video's (planning an external HDD so don't need huge drive), not for gaming. Would appreciate…

Would appreciate some recommendations.

Cheers

well if you look on amazon or the likes you can get decent acer or dell for 500 or so - plenty of i5 with 8gb ram,to last good few years if mostly working,thus only shortage extra cash needed to swap out hdd,and get ssd 256gb at very least which is about 80e plus depending on brand you go with.
