Adam91 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I'm looking for a new laptop it's not for gaming it's just for general use youtube, browsing the forums, watching shows etc. Money is a bit tight at the moment so I'm looking to get a cheap one around £200 max, can someone give me some advice what to get or where I can get it online? I did look on amazon but a lot of them are £300 or more and that's too expensive for me at the moment. Any help would be appreciated. I know that if I was going to get one for gaming I'd need to know what specs but do laptops for general use still need a good level of specs? Sorry if that is a stupid question I'm not good when it comes to this sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pbrabbit Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 If basic is what you want, get a Chromebook, to get what you would like to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Is not JL Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 General use? A MacBook should do. Any model. You get the sassy retina display too in newer models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akali Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 i would say go for a gaming laptop since games need a lot more power to run games than youtube and this site so just try and get a gaming laptop and it should run everything that you want to run with no problems but maybe the price might be an issue for getting a gaming laptop but if you find one then you are set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stig Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Would you need it just for surfing the internet? Or do you need one to do work on (documents/photoshop/editing/etc.)? Because if you need a decent laptop just for the internet and some other basic things, then might I suggest...
