Okay so here's the story. I'm starting uni in September and I need a laptop. The problem is I'm a poor student and so have about a £500 budget.

So, I was wondering if you guys would be able to suggest something that's not too expensive, whilst at the same time not being total ******


Thanks in advance. <3

It's worth about 1.52 of your funny S things.

Dell has reasonably good sales now and then, or you can check out Newegg.

Sadly, Newegg won't ship internationally, so you have to faff around to get stuff from there to here.

Define "not total ****". It'd be easy to get you something for word processing, browsing the internet, listening to music, etc. What else do you intend to do with it?

Define what in your opinion is not total ****** then assume that's what I mean.

Oh, I didn't know that. How odd.

Maybe try TigerDirect then?

I've always hated our money. It's relatively ugly compared to other civilized nations.

Yeah but we have made ours different sizes so it's more convenient for drunk people. Smiley: thumbsup

Best international fiat currency (that I've encountered) is by far the new Turkish Lira. They all have a picture of Mustafa Atatürk on 'em, whose face looks like he probably has a glass of bourbon in one hand, and the round *** of a 19-year-old intern in the other.

Close runner up is the Egyptian Pound. English on one side, Arabic on the other, and awesome images of various ancient Egyptian ruins on every bill.

More likely for blind people.

I doubt anyone drunk enough to not notice which bill they are using has the cognitive faculties to discern size differences in their money.

I'd look around for a refurbished Latitude D830 or E6500. should be able to find one in your price range with a decent warranty. If you plan to be on the go with it alot, definitly get the docking station. will save alot of cable wear and tear.

You could buy about 22 of India's $35 laptop. That would last you a while.

I've got the Latitude E5400 and can definitely recommend the series. It is a sturdy laptop and suits my needs well (which are similar to the needs of a college student, assuming you don't plan on playing all the latest games on it). The docking station it came with is also really awesome for keeping it at my desk at work.

Many thanks, I've browsed around and I've managed to find a refurbished Latitude E5400 within my budget.

Cheers :)
