Hi guys,

I am starting a computing course at Uni soon and am looking for a laptop for doing all my work on,

My budget is £800 (USD $1050) and am wanting something preferable lightweight and thin, and 15" would be nice but 13" is completely fine

It would be used for web browsing, Word, Excel, programming. Will need to be able to handle a lot of tabs :D

Would love a great battery life, but carrying a charger isn't too big of a deal

 

If you have any suggestions please feel free to leave them,

Thanks,

BisquTz
