Common question I guess, I'm thinking about buying a second hand laptop and I'm after some advice.
I've just got a netbook at the moment, and while I love it, the size is just a bit too much of a pain sometimes.
**
Use: **
Internet.
Music.
A bit of iplayer-type stuff.
No games, ever.
Word processing.
Wants:
Relatively light.
Relatively thin (ideally very)
Sensible sized screen 14/15" (I'd guess).
Cheap.
Not an HP.
Not a Sony.
Not too slow.
Do not need
Disc drive.
Huge amounts of storage/hard drive (at least I don't think I do?)
My dad has a Samsung x420 which I really like because it's got good battery life and it's fairly light and slim... plus it seems to be good quality. So I am looking at those at the moment.
Does anyone have any other recommendations of similar laptops?
Is there anything that I should look out for when buying that I might not obviously think of or ask?
Cheers.
Also I've got an oldish but decent at the time spec HP with a burnt graphics card that will always burn because of it's location. Does anyone have any use for it, or any suggestions on what to do with it?
