Laptop?

[Josh]

Hello guys. Looking into buying a new laptop for school etc. However, I'm not sure what I should get. I want it to be fairly mobile, functional but I also want to be able to use it for (unintensive games) if I go on holiday or something.

Any suggestions?

Depends how much you want to spend, as a student you can get a HP Envy 14 for ~£800 and it has a i5 460M, 4GB RAM, ATi 5650 (it's what I have and its nice!)

Yeah, that's a real factor on how to pick, how much money you have to spend. Poor Wiizzz is in Australia though so I'm not sure how student discount would work over there

Would a netbook be ideal or not?

Not really after a netbook. I'm not really buying around a discount or anything (student dicount) but I'm willing to spend about 1.5k dollars (work it out lul) and then the laptop will last a while.

Also Johny, I'll look into that laptop you suggested thanks.

I think the new styling is horrible, hence why I went for the Envy.

You can get a HP dv7 which has the same specs as the envy (but a 17.3" screen) for around £100 less (I know you are in australia but oh well )
