Laptop Second Opinion

[James Mirran]

Afternoon All,

Looking for a second opinion on the below laptop spec to make sure i haven't made a stupid error; current cost is £443.00 so budget is around this figure.

This laptop will only be used for web-surfing and other basic operations thus minimal storage required but it needs to be fast (user is not the best with computers, especially slow computers!).

14" ultranote works out a few pounds cheaper if you wanted more of a (slight) saving. I'd recommend silver warranty for a fiver.

Thanks I thought I'd put on the extra warranty; will stick with the larger screen as user prefers a large screen.

I think the kingston hyper-x is also a few pounds cheaper than the samsung evo SSDs right now so again, a few pounds saving to be had there if you swap to that SSD.
