Hi all - just needing a bit of advice - missus wants a laptop for crimbo.

Will be only using it for online / Netflix / simple office stuff. Not worried about storage as she's got a portable HD for that (photos/ music etc)

Looking anything up to about £350.00

Not bought alaptop in years (MAC fanboy)

cheers

My daughter bought a refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad about 4 months back for £170.00.
Almost the exact job description you list with travel blogging and heavy Instagram usage thrown in.
I appreciate you'll probably want new for a pressie but worth a look.

Not sure where you are in the country but I'm sure they'll mail order.

Husband and wife company so not hard to speak to and get a sensible response.

I bought a refurbed Thinkpad T430 a couple of years ago for around £315 too and it's a very good workhorse computer, but I think it might be a bit of an ugly lump if you want something a bit more stylish that doesn't have to run more intensive programs.

The choice is so huge now I don't really have any specific suggestions, but I would definitely go with SSD and get something with a decent screen (Thinkpad screens not necessarily great)

I know this is a bit over, just something I saw on hotukdeals.com

Funnily enough was looking at the 330's - was seeing if there were any Black Friday deals

Cheers guys
