Budget Laptop Advice?

Guest

Hey! 

So I'm hoping to get a laptop soon, however unsure what to get. I'm on a low budget (£400 - £450) and I just need a laptop for media consumption (YouTube, Netflix etc.), basic programming (Basically just Python) & word processing. Good battery life & with a size of 13" or 14" would be preferable. I know there's quite a bit of choice but I'm hoping for any recommendations.  

Thanks, 

Angus

You need it for Media Usage, Coding and Microsoft Office? If you like windows go with a Cheap (Upgradeable Storage) Laptop. Anything will work. Or if you like OSX or never tried it. Go with Macbook http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-MD318LL-15-4-Inch-VERSION/dp/B005CWJ1DI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459608250&sr=8-1&keywords=2011+mac+book+pro
