New Laptop
I have a job starting in September, for which I will be moving about quite a bit. I will probably not be in one place for more than 3 months, and I have no idea where I will be for that time. So the chances are I will be in spare rooms and random places off Gumtree and so on.
I want to travel light so I don't have much to move, much to unpack and then repack. So I want to replace my desktop.
So, I am after recommendations for a laptop. I only want to pay £300, hopefully less. I don't care if it is second hand or refurbished, as long as it is in decent condition. Because in 18 months time I will probably be back to living in one place again.
I plan to sign up to Love Film or something similar during the year, so it needs to be able to play DVDs and so on, which rules out netbooks. I would also like it to be slightly larger than a netbook.
So, 13 inch screen or there abouts, optical drive, reasonable HDD storage, reasonable battery life. To be honest I just want it to be semi decent, so that it works. I am not going to be doing anything stressful to it, 95% of my computing time is spent browsing or watching media. So 1Gb - 2Gb RAM probably, 1.2Ghz processor. I am not that fussy.
Windows 7 compatibility would be a plus, but I will put up with XP for a year if I have to.
So, any suggestions?
