Is this laptop worth buying for £140 in 2012?

Ashley

I'm possibly going to buy a used laptop for £140

I am a media college student in the uk, I will need to run most adobe programs, mainly photoshop, after effects and illustrator. I would also need to run Sony Vegas. Gaming would also be nice, I play oldish games so nothing demanding

this is its specs...

Hey!

The price is almost too good to be true. Make sure it's not stolen or anything like that! But if everything is legit and this is a buy from a reliable seller... then 100% yes this is a good deal without a doubt!!

Good luck!!

best time to buy a laptop?

Kristina B

im going to be freshman in college this coming fall. hence i need a laptop. the laptop ive have come to like the most is the dell XPS 12. should i buy on black Friday or wait until august how they have college student discounts. (best buy was giving out free xbox 360s last year) what would you guys do? and dose anyone know what deals best buy had for black Friday last year?
okay fine no tablet but i still like the dell xps 13. but i dont think id want a used laptop, i know they aren't bad but id just rather pay for a new one.

Not a tablet - word processing for homework is going to be easier with a keyboard. Trust me on this. A virtual keyboard is not the same...

As to timing, if you want a new computer with the warranty and the best price - go for a clearance price when the latest thing is about to be released....rather like buying a 2012 model car just after the 2013s are out, so the dealers are motivated to get the 2012s off the lot to make space for the NEW model!

If you don't mind a preowned computer (rather like a preowned - read that as "used" - car) - then eBay, Craigslist, and Amazon can be your friend. There are a lot of people who want the NEW and sell their previous (whatever) to help pay for it. A new laptop, a new car, an iPad 3 now that the iPad 4 and the iPad Mini have come out, or even something as large as a new house (or as small as a new iPhone or watch).
