Hi there,
I start University in September and I am looking at buying a laptop or netbook but I personally know very little about laptops and their specs. I built my own PC, which I thankfully have more knowledge about, but I need something mobile to take with me to lectures and such. Ideally I would like as long battery life as possible, a very fast and responsive computer (I'd be open to Ubuntu, thoughts?). Gaming isn't a necessity as I have my PC, but I'd definitely welcome the ability to play some less demanding games, I know this isn't really possible with Ubuntu but I'm weighing up my options. My home PC has an AMD 1090T but I'd like to try out the new generation Intel processors for my laptop, with regards to graphics I'd like to try out nVidia as well. Brand wise I like the look of HP but I'm open to pretty much any brand as long as the laptop itself has good reviews and recommendations. My price range is around £600-£700, obviously the cheaper the better but if there is an amazing laptop knocking about for £750 let me know.
Thanks guys.
