Sub £350 laptopHello. I'm after a new laptop. I'm not well versed in computers, but the one I currently use is almost useless and so I need a new one ASAP. My maximum budget is £350. I won't be using it for gaming. All I use my current PC for is youtube, music and web browsing. I thought about getting a netbook but I wouldn't bode well with the small screen as this laptop is going to be a desktop replacement and so portability isn't an issue. I also need a CD drive. One with bluetooth and HDMI would be good. I saw this online at PC World and I'd welcome some opinions:
TOSHIBA Satellite L750D-14R 15.6" Laptop.
If its rubbish then please be kind and recommend me some!
Thank you.

Thanks. Why will the price reduce in the next few weeks; new releases? I can't wait until then anyway. I need a new laptop ASAP to complete assignments.
Why do Toshiba insist on installing so much bloatware on their laptops?! There's so much crap! Can it all be removed? -

Bloatware can be removed but it's just annoying to do. -

Re: Sub £350 laptopNew processors and new range of laptops, thats whats happens with every laptop nearly, just delete it all when you get it or just do a fresh install again.(Original post by 21stcenturyphantom)
