    Laptop advice
    I have a budget of £800, I am looking for a powerful laptop to see me through my degree. Any suggestions/ reccomendations?

    what are you planning to do with the laptop?
    Plus your uni course?
    Any special software or gaming?

    Uni course is biomedical science. Not planning on doing anything particularly intensive, storage space will be an issue though, I have a lot of HD films on my current hard drive. Just want something decent that will run quickly.

    Well if your looking for it to last for a while with a kick of power than ideally an i5 should do, would 500gb-1tb be enough for storage?
