So the story goes...

I've broken my laptop, and i'm in the market for a new one. So what do i want?

Well, my old one was a big 17.3in Acer with i5 processor, 4gb ram, nfi of the overall memory but i was never gonna exceed it, 2.3/2.9ghz. Windows 7. AMD graphics, i think.

The screen was too big really, as anything it could play online was too stretched on the clarity. In fact things like YouTube and likewise players were horrible and required a part screen.. and whilst some photos looked great, i had to sit right back to view them.
So i'm happy with a smaller screen, though I'd like a widescreen layout.

I don't need a CD re-writer drive. I haven't used mine for literally 2-3yrs, i listen/view everything online.

Id like to do more with photos, video, and music. Much more.

Id like it to be fast and responsive - i swear sometimes my phone is sharper than my laptop was over Wi-Fi..

Ram aside, i don't need huge memory. Even cheapies come with over 300gb now.

And that brings me to my final point - obviously i dont wanna pay much. And i dont think i need to. Seven years ago i paid 650 quid, this time i dont wanna pay half that. Im still finding the odd i7-equipped book for money i can justify but obviously i have to dig into my sacrifices.

I'm all ears.

If anything, Mikey, you're all nose. * +

Bit of a repost but theyre all specific and out of date.

What's available? What should i look for? What would you get? What are the must-have features, and what would you sacrifice to bring the price down?

Get a Raspberry Pi 3 B+
