Spent hours online looking but don't know what really will be suitable for my needs. I need a laptop that's good for work- lots of essays etc. Decent enough storage. I currently have an HP and it's awful. Preferably under £500 (not something super flashy like a MacBook). Not a brand person so don't care what brand it is as long as it'll do the job. Need to be able to plug a USB in too. What could fit the bill? Sorry that this thread is so boring!!
