What is the best laptop for a 17 year old college student at a budget of £450?

[ArtGirl]

I'm a 17 year old girl in college and I'm studying Business at a level 3 qualification. I'm thinking of getting myself a laptop but I need it for my college work and also for social networking like facebook and twitter, surfing the web and emailing. Which windows 8 laptop would be best for me?

Thanks

If you don't game, most i3 notebooks will do (or i5 if you can afford it). If you need to bring it to school, look for 11.6" like Acer TravelMate or V5. For home only, 15.6" will be cheaper.

There are so many other options to consider. I am going to make the assumption that you are not planning on doing any heavy gaming (maybe some facebook games) and you will want the maximum amount of hard drive space.

This one might be the 'best' within your budget:

But this one will be more than sufficient for your needs and costs a lot less (currently 11% off):
