Help buying new laptop

[ZuleikhaHanif]

Hello all,

 

I'm looking to buy a new laptop at a reasonable price and want to make sure I get something that lasts long and basically does the job.

 

What do you guys think about the [h=1]Samsung 350V I5 Laptop with Windows 8 - Silver (At Argos for £499). Or I can get something better at the same price..?[/h]

 

The specifications of the laptop can be found here: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5089064.htm

 

The main use of the laptop will be uni work. I need something that's efficient in multitasking and also not too bulky and heavy.

 

Any advice/help is appreciated :)

 

Thanks,

Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

If you are paying £500 for that particular laptop I am sure that you can find one - same spec - lower price.

 

Take a look here:

The Aspire V3-571 gets a good write-up.

( I have this one )

 

Read the reviews - make notes on the specs for comparison.

 

There are other options too.

 

You should be able to save at least £50 on what you have posted a link to.

Hi! Thanks for your help.

 

Decided on this one

It's the same price but has higher RAM and drive space. I'm guessing the price justifies it.

Looks like a bargain.

 

I have seen that much more expensive
