Hi all!

I'm supposed to be working but it's too hot and I had an ace supervision with my PhD supervisor this morning so I'm excusing myself from an afternoon of work to be on the Dibb But anyway, I wanted to just scream from the rooftops that I got a letter this morning stating that the tax man owes me £550! I worked until September 2019 then returned to study so I'd overpaid on the tax in the earlier part of the financial year, it was a great surprise.

I have needed a new laptop for a while- I got my Dell laptop when I started my undergrad in 2014 but I think it's time for a new one. During Zoom calls my camera is constantly shutting off, the updates are unreal and slow and (I think) 6 years is a pretty good lifetime for a laptop. I was tied between getting new furniture for the lounge or getting myself a new laptop but maybe I can justify both now

So... does anyone have any good recommendations for laptops? It doesn't really need to be anything special. I'm not really a gamer on the pc, I use it mainly for research and word processing. A quick look on Argos shows there are loads within my tax refund budget but there's so much choice and I don't know where to start. Let me know what laptops you have and why you love them!
