Hi Peeps,
Need a laptop.

Nothing special.

Has to have a SMALL screen, and have EXCELLENT battery life, also be reliable and be able to have loads of programmes open at once.

Looking to pay £300 max.

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

All help appreciated.

Please keep on topic.

HP 6720s. It will do all that you want and also includes a free miulti function printer. Its not a particularly small screen though at 15.4"

your best bet is probuably going to be the eeepc (tho you will have to use a Linux os which will be a shock )


you want small and cheap, how about getting 2 or even 3 laptops??:

Has to be windows.

Also ideally after a 12inch screen.
