Laptop for Schoolwork

Beta · August 22, 2015

I am looking for a Laptop for word-processing, other office applications, web-browsing, some media playback and Programming in Visual Studio. It is purely for Schoolwork and I would like it to be fast for these applications, a fast boot time of possible, good battery life and highly portable/light. Any recommendations?

I am not looking to spend a huge amount of money, maybe like £200 to £250 max. as it is purely for Schoolwork.

If you're trying to program in Visual Studio, maybe you'd want to increase that budget a bit.

Maybe get a cheaper one and then put a ssd in it instead of some crappy 5200rpm hdd.

Firstly, I have not looked at all into Prices for Specs tbh, but my ancient netbook with a Dual Core Atom can run Visual Studio and the application I am working on reasonably well.

Anyways, ignore budget then

Well, if you're not doing big projects you could probably get away with something like an A6-6310.
