How do you buy a laptop?

I would say steer clear of the ‘go’ as ut is just a tablet really, Windows in S mode and low res front camera. This is the minimum surface

But you probably need to buy the keyboard cover and pen extra so it’ll be closer to 850 at least I’d think.

Ooh didn’t know that! The ~£500 price point is so hard to find something decent for innit

Yeah I tho k they’re basically Chromebooks so I’d probably just get one of them.

TBH 500 is a low price point. Obviously a Surface Go is fine for most people just like a Chromebook is. Comes down to what you use a computer for.

The ebuyer has Windows Pro not Home which should make little difference but will boost cost

That implies the chips are almost identical. I’d probably go with the AMD cheaper one TBH.

But I would Google for reviews of each online etc. You may find one is actually a crap build from people who’ve used ut.

The difference in cost is definitely not worth it. The AMD processor in the Inspiron is the better processor for you (music recording), since it has 6 cores, and the Intel processor in the Latitude only has 2 cores.

much love, peace and respect x

Please put this on Amazon.

I doubt you used Amazon to buy it but that is a perfect Amazon review.
