I think it's stupid to pay for a netbook when you can get a good laptop for £100 more, especially a Chromebook which seems to be solely based on apps.

TV's and laptops..... ALWAYS look at the spec never be taken in by name or the shiney man who is selling it!!

im off for a week lads so have a good un!

Get a laptop chassis and build one yourself. Best value for money.

Hp make good laptops, have a look at some of them mines lasted for 4 years even after I broke the screen I just plug it into the tv

get a netbook. they can be easily hidden in a backpack and will do all the web surfing and email/text editing you'll need.
hang around studenty area's with a laptop bag and you'll end up getting mugged. or you'll forget it in a pub.

MacBook ALL day

What are you studying anyway?

What about a Microsoft Surface with the Touch Cover for about £499? You get a tablet, thin and light laptop when adding the cover and most Windows features including Office. It will most probably get you girls as well (unless you're a girl then probably guys but what I'm trying to say is you will be the talk of the Uni common room as the plebs turn up with bricks or reams of paper).

good god no, not surface. you'll have to use windows 8.
i tried it out for a few months on my netbook. it's one of the most annoying os's ive ever come across.
might be fine using the touch screen for simple apps, but it is absolutey cr*p for doing any serious work on.
until it's possible to disable the charms bar (whoever decided to put a hidden pop-up menu right next to the scroll bars needs to be shot! repeatedly!, and then stabbed, just to be sure.) and can re-enable the standard start menu instead of that god-forsaken piece of shi t metro menu, keep well away from windows 8.

A tablet for £500? Are you fecking insane? What is wrong with people? I shout at these companies which charge extortionate prices for products but when there are foolish people willing to buy them, I should keep my mouth shut. You can get an excellent laptop for £500, why in the world would you buy a tablet for it?!
