Help. buying a budget laptop...

[ZacB]

Hi. I'm at collage (uk as opposed to us) and need a cheap laptop (£300 -£320)

I'd like it to be able to run Photoshop and Visual Studio 2013 snappily as well as being quite portable (my bags already full of heavy and large books...)

Pertaining to this I've seen second hand second gen i5 laptops at this price and wonder how much worse this is than a 3rd gen i3?

Really appreciate any help and happy to answer / clarify on anything!

The Lenovo thinkpad edge E431 is a good deal for 300£, it has the power to do photoshops it can do some occasionall and it has a great keyboard. If you are a student this is a really good laptop for you.
