Hi everyone
So at the moment I am using like a 10 year old netbook. It's the Asus eeePC R100 or something like that and I really need a new laptop for University as I tend to do all of my coding etc on there. However, I can't really seem to find a good laptop for my budget, which is around £450. The main things that I need in a laptop are portability, so any screen size 14" and below would be good and battery life, I need at least 5 hours of web browsing.
I haven't really managed to find one around my budget that I am happy with, even at the place I work. Including the discount I would get. However, I managed to "build" my own laptop on pcspecialist.co.uk. So I just wanted to get your opinions.
The base laptop I have chosen is the 14" UltraNote II - http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/ultraNoteII-14/.
The only parts I have changed are as follows:
Processor - i3 4000m at 2.5GHz
RAM - 4GB Kingston HyperX Genesis 1600 MHz (maybe upgrade to 8GB if I decide it is worth the extra £30)
Storage - Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB
I don't need an Operating System Installed as I will be installing Linux instead. Everything else I have kept as default and the total cost comes to £425.
So do you think that it is worth it?
Thanks for any advice.
