Hello all,
Im looking to buy a laptop for running some mathematics software, writing some small programs (probably in c++ & python), and general day to day use - internet browsing (including video steaming), word processing etc.
My priorities are:
Price - no more than £400, the cheaper the better
Battery life & laptop reliability(/durability)
Portability - reasonably small & light
Potential for upgrade
CPU - reasonably fast; no need for multi core
Storage - size not important, but multimedia preferable
I dont want a Mac, and am not too interested in HP after hearing many complaints about overheating.
I wondered if a cheap business laptop would be a good product for my needs.
I realise my requirements are quite specific, so ANY suggestions are welcome and i can weight them up against my needs.
Thanks in advance.
