Are the cheap $275-$350 laptops any good.Id just use it for general use and forum.Im using my Samsung 9+ at the monment,but its not very forum friendly.
I live 90 minutes from a PC shop to only get filled with jargon from a young saleman.
What would be a good laptop at a resonable price and warranty for my use.
Thanks for your info and time replying back to me.

my ACER died last year - serious case of black screen - I got a second hand ex lease one from Janko here in New Plymouth for $600 - HP model about 3 years old with a warranty - really happy with it - new one was around $1200 - only bug was all settings had been returned to factory - was going flat quick but discovered battery settings needed changing - like switch itself of etc - now happy camper -modern fast laptop
