    As a Thinkpad the screen is too small for little old me. The specs will probably be Ok.
    Have you looked at Gumtree, Derby.
    http://www.gumtree.com/laptops/derby
    There are a few Laptops at a similar price locally that you could go and see. Screens vary from 15 -17" and the specs onsome of them are better than the Thinkpad.
    Go to a high st. retailer and see the Thinkpad (or a similar sized model) before you buy to make sure the screen is big enough for your needs.

    LOL I'm using my phone at the moment. The screen will be HUGE compared to this!! I also wanted something smaller that a laptop. Plus it has a 4 month warranty.

    The link is broken, but the Lenova Thinkpads are pretty good. I guess it just depends on the price for the spec.

    I've Got a HP lap top you are welcome to :cool:
    It has a small problem it needs a Fan in it
    I Know it's the fan because I Used it when I used to DJ and sing for a living I used to use a big fan to keep it cool the type we use in summer I used to put it up Against the lap Top to keep it Cool and Sing in front of it so it killed 2 Birds with one stone Kept me cool and the lap top if you excuse the pun it's got a carry case and power lead
    If you know any one who can sort the Fan you can have it for Free
    Well may be a few Seeds :loll: just Drop me a PM & ile Get it in the post for you After the week end I've been drafted in to work this week to cover a Guy Sick it's either 15" or 17" ile measure it for you and Get the EXAT Model if it would help out and save you a few Quid :dbgrtmb:
