Laptop/notebook

[Numptie]

Right, I'm off to uni in about a month and I'm in need of a laptop. It will mainly be used to taking notes,listening to music and use for MSN.

I have no idea what im doing with laptops/notebook/netbooks. Hence why im asking here.

My budget is £400.

Currently got my eye on http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-g62...53071-pdt.html

But I'm not sure its worth the money, and that i might regret buying it once i get to uni.
Is it worth going for one at the top end of my budget if i'm not Gaming?

Re: Laptop/notebook

If your going to be taking it to classes, or carrying it around a lot, I would go with something 13.3" or smaller. most laptops under 13" will not have cd drives so take that into consideration.

I think i will go with a 15.5 inch due to the fact i keep buying music Cd's, so i will need a way of putting them on it, And i dont want to fork out for a external CD drive.
