Thinking about the E520 offer here:
http://shopap.lenovo.com/nz/en/deals-and-coupons/laptop-thinkpad-deals/edge-offer/
15.1" (1366x768) LED Backlit Display, Intel Core i7-2640M Processor, 6 GB PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz, AMD Mobility Radeon 2GB graphics, 500GB Hard Disk Drive, 5400rpm for NZ$849.15 +GST.
This appears to be special offer running out today and I have 2 daughters starting Uni and needing laptops, so I thought I'd get some advice here first.
Decent sized display is probably more important that portability, so not looking at netbook options.
Thoughts? Recommendations or alternatives?
