Laptop For Studying

[BobbyBobBob]

I know I've already asked a question about getting a new laptop already but I realise I didn't need what I was asking for and was being very ambitious with what specs I wanted for the price.

Ideally I would like a budget laptop that has enough power and memory to help me with my psychology degree, and be able to run normal programmes such as office. I'm not a big gamer so that's not essential. I plan to upload a lot of photos so a fair amount of storage would be needed. But it's mainly for what I've mentioned, plus maybe the odd video.

A windows 8 touchscreen would be nice but it's not essential.

I would also like it to be 13" screen as I think 11" would be too small to work on for my degree which is what it's for mainly.

Advice would be appreciated

Any suggestions??

Realise it would be helpful if I gave a price I was looking to pay.......ideally, no more than £250, £300 max

The touchscreen is a non-essential that bumps the price up, so scrap that idea.

What exactly will your degree require the computer to do? If it's just word processing then really any budget laptop will do the job perfectly well.

Does it have to be a 13" screen? This is bigger but seems a bargain to me

If portability is important, this smaller screen is good, and has a touchscreen

And it's £255 on Amazon

Argos are expensive, there are much better places where you would get way more laptop for your money.
