I have been using an Acer C720 Chromebook running full Windows 10 for the past year at college and it has been a pretty decent laptop to say it is fairly low spec and shouldn't run Windows. However because the display is starting to develop light spots and I am starting to get more into software development, now seems to be the time to replace it.
Since I get Windows free through Dreamspark, I wanted a laptop that didn't come with Windows, was portable and lightweight and was around £500-600. PC Specialists 13.3" Lafité II seems to be a good laptop. The only thing I am wondering is if it is worth spending the extra £74 on an i7. Configured with 8GB RAM, an i5 6200U and a 250GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD without Windows it comes to £527 and with an i7 £601. I was wondering if people have used PC Specialist before and if there laptops are any good?
