laptops I'm I Choosing Right

[liamgo417]

Hi

 

I'm needing a laptop for my college work, I'm learning ICT so I need a laptop that can handle databases, web development, graphics design, programming and so on.

For that reason, it also needs to be portable with good battery life (above 4-6hrs, 15.6" or smaller).

I would like to spend under £600(ish), as I'm still a student (low income).

I've found this laptop for £599.99 (down from £699.99), the spec's are:

Development requires very little in terms of raw power. that laptop is more than enough.

It's not bad. What @vorticalbox said, programming and development require almost no raw power. This should be rock solid.
