Hi Ozbargainers,
My husband has his own building business and needs a new laptop to run MYOB, word formatting and emailing - nothing particularly fancy.
As this is a new business we need to spend as little as possible, however neither of us are particularly savy with technology and feel a bit daunted when knowing what to look for. The only things i know for sure that we do need are 1. for the laptop to be windows compatible 2. for it to have a Solid state drive 3. have a decent battery as it will be used on work sites - that's pretty much it! My husband has been into the usual suspect stores - Goodguys, Harvey Norman etc. who have suggested he needs to spend a minimum of $950. We found this one but not 100% sure if it will be any good - http://www.dell.com/au/p/inspiron-11-3162-laptop/pd?oc=z5112…
Do you have any advice on laptops that are cheap (ideally under $500) that would meet these requirements?
Any help you an offer would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!
Tash
Sounds like the $400 Inspiron 11 3000 you linked will be perfectly fine.
Plenty of ozbargainers buy it for similar uses, but a bit cheaper (during ebay sales and such).
