Cheap decent laptop

[LiamR172]

Howdy...

Im looking for a cheapish laptop, basically for browsing this and the likes of youtube etc, nothing too serious

Ideally id like a decent sized screen rather than a 10" one but im not OVERLY fussed.

Suggestions?

+1, I'm desperate to f*ck my desktop off as I barely use it. All I need is web browsing, and abit of memory for songs on my ipod etc.

Somebody has recommended an Asus Chromebook. Wtf is that? Clueless with technology.

^ Thanks. But how is it different to a normal laptop? I'm assuming by the price that it can't do as much as a regular laptop? But will it fit my needs of web browsing and using iTunes?

It doesn't run Windows. Runs a linux operating system made by Google. Everything is cloud/web based and is pretty much useless without a internet connection. Can't use iTunes on it i'm afraid https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3217385?hl=en-GB

Personally I would just wait until Phuzion has his next laptop sale and buy one of them.

Yup. Buy one off of Craig. (Phuzion) pm him and he'll sort you out.
