Further advice on new laptop

[johnnature]

Hi

I'm looking for advice for finding a suitable new laptop for using for a small not for profit business.

The laptop will be mainly used for keeping accounts and presentations, using Microsoft Office and Quickbooks accounting software (2.4 GHz processor minimum 4 GB RAM minimum, 8GB RAM Recommended, 4x CD-ROM drive required) and skype.

We've got a budget of £600 but could spend a bit more to get a good spec.

We may wish to use the laptop for film, photo & audio editing for promotion material although this is a secondary requirement.

We previously made an inquiry on the forum and from the 3 laptops we was looking at then we was told the Acer Aspire V3-574T was the best option, but since then a Specialist PC company has contacted us with 2 further options which look impressive

We are currently looking at these laptops
