Hi Guys,

 

So I need a new laptop for school work. It's gonna be doing word processing, internet stuff (gonna need to support a decent amount of tabs and stuff 4GB RAM should be fine) and some like Reaper stuff. Budget will probably be in the 400-700 GBP bracket.

 

It needs to have:

 

SSD (or space for me to swap one in)

 

1080p (or higher) screen

 

It should be an ultrabook style, thin and light sorta jobby

 

Ethernet port is a must due to shitty home WiFi situation

 

Decent Keyboard is preferred

 

It does not need:

 

A hard drive other than the SSD

 

NO CHROMEBOOKS

 

Does not need dedicated graphics (strictly no gaming machine this)

 

That's all I can think of right now, but there might be some more info if I've forgotten something

 

Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, this is one of the best options for yourself

 

Except for the fact that it has a proper GPU

 

Will edit if i see more to suggest.

Compatible with Windows 95

Looks solid, thanks! Here I'll add, that it does not need a touchscreen and that non budget maxing suggestions are also welcome :P

Note the £100 cashback

 

And of course that touchscreens are awesome once you have one. Just sayin'.

how does this system work? You just buy it and ask them to give you a 100 quid back? What? :P

It's like the Mail-in rebate that you get on Amercan stores, but less finicky due to European Law.

 

Basically, you ask how to get this cashback and fill in this short form then it gets sent to you in the post in the form of a cheque.
