How does this laptop look?

My friend needs something portable for his A-level courses. He's doing mainly maths based subjects like accounting.

 

He's going to be travelling about 2/3 hours a day by boat and bus so I thought the size of this one will do him fine.

 

Its a fair price for what it is overall, in my opinion anyway.

 

What does the community think? Is this the best for him or are there better options? He did think about an iPad but I feel as if that's not the right device college.

 

Specs:

Should be fine, is that the real price? that's fairly low cost for what it is

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

I can install it for him so I thought i'd save the £80 and add a SSD and more RAM
