Hi, im looking at getting my first laptop, and as im a student i've only managed to muster up a budget of around £700 quid. I've been looking around everywhere, but decided that the main brands were far too expensive for my budget, especially if I was looking for something with mobility (ie new centrinos) So i've decided to ditch the idea of a Centrino and even that of a new laptop, and have instead found a beauty of a refurbished laptop, with a monster of a processing speed and infinite(almost ) Ram. Its a fujitsu-siemens, and its from a reliable source, and im getting it for £700 quid. As its my first buy, before i purcahse it i've decided to seek advice and approval from more knowlegeable sources, and also find out if anyone knows of anything better in my range. Here are the Characteristics of the Fujitusu:
