Where to buy a laptop

[JJT]

In need of laptop, doesn't need to be suoer high spec, no gaming etc. Has anyone reccomendations of where to buy one, not keen of currys/ pc world etc as they always come pre loaded with a load of crap you don't want. Got last coupe of desktops from dino pc, which was great as ypu could spec what you wanted and they only came with windows installed and thats it. Unfortunatly last experience of them wasn't good.

Or consider a chromebook

The last one came from Ebuyer... The one before was a rush purchase from Argos.

Use your local computer shop.
Chances are they wont be far out on price & if there is a problem with it you should get better service than from the internet sellers

Buy direct from Lenovo's website or buy from local computer shop.

I agree but Apple products are not cheap. What is the entry level Macbook costing these days?

I'm looking to buy a Lenovo duet for my daughter, I'm thinking a chromebook would be more resistant to being fudged up than a Windows or Mac machine?

Lenovo make some delicious 2 in 1 machines though, the yoga range look utterly ace.

I had a Yoga - it was a bit fragile for the amount I moved around - very bad idea for kids imo. Did look good mind.

I'm probably going to buy an MS Surface Go 2 next year for myself, I'm thinking the reduced size and weight will fit in my bag and be portable and wieldy enough to take around with me whilst not being intrusive like a laptop. Still have to shell out £500 and that's before a keyboard and pen are included!

If you are going to spend Apple money then this would be an equivalent windows laptop

Razer Blade Pro 17 - Full HD 300Hz - GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q - Black | PC

More Cores. Faster Screen. Bigger Wins.

a bit overkill to run Xero on though!

Thanks for the replies. Had a look on e buyer, think i'll go speak to local shop and see what they can offer.

 

[Kidds]

Got mine from Currys and just uninstalled any crap I didn't want. Can't remember there being a right lot anyway.
Had it about a year now and quite happy with it, would buy from there again and I am no great fan of theirs. Just use them for price really. It is a basic lower end of the range laptop, can't remember exact price but £300 ish.

Thanks for all the replies, got one from local shop in town, seemed there or there abouts with price so thought i would help support local business.

Is it a 'homemade' one or a big brand machine?
Edit, sorry it's a laptop so must be a branded machine. Shops don't tend to build laptops [slap myself on wrist… ouch]
