In terms of specs it's absolutely fine (unless you're doing video editing or something). I suggest trying to find something cheaper though as I personally think that's quite expensive. Curry's have an eBay shop where everything is super super cheap so definitely worth checking out. If you need anymore help, let me know :smile:

Depends what you’re going to be doing on it. My brother told me i5 can be slow (they had those at his uni in 2019/2020). If u can go for an i7 it may be better but it depends on what you’re doing. If u need ur laptop a lot of recommend getting i7 but i5 will most likely do. Hope that helps :smile:

I'll be using it for my coursework and research mainly so just google and office documents. i5 will be fine for that?
