What counts as "reasonably priced"?

I don't think I would take a new laptop away travelling but had a look, this was on offer (£25 off) for £249.99 :-

I'd recommend Acer too, plus just about every new laptop should be more tha capable of running any trading software these days. I'd had three Acer laptops never had a problem with them , last one I bought was a Dell cos it looked well specc'd , big mistake, they skimp on just about everything, crap screen that disappears at slight angles, cheap keyboard that flexes far too much to be reliable even the wifi can't handle 5G as they stick in a cheap card.

Only thing I'd suggest is go for a decent size screen if you can as it'll be much more useful in the long run.

ACER ASPIRE 5750  HAS A 15.6 SCREEN AND IS FAR SUPERIOR TO OTHER SCREENS IN BOTH SIZE AND QUALITY.

My only critisism of this machine is that there is a small degree of flex when opening/closing the lid.

It has blue ray....500GB HDD......3GB DDR3 MEMORY.....AND,BEST OF ALL >>TURBO BOOST.....as well as lots of inputs and HDMI

Hope that this info helps you
