When I moved house my work mobile had zero signal so they sorted me out with a "signal booster" - it's looks like a little router and you plug it into the back of the BT internet router thing and now get full signal.

i5 processor, 8gb ddr3 ram and a 1tb solid state hybrid drive, looks decent to me for the price but genuinely dont know what £5-600 for a windows laptop would get you these days.

Apparently these are up there for spec and cost, both i7s at £560 and £499 respectively

The Lenovo looks quite slim, cant compare it to a macbook air or anything but build quality on them is decent too much better than dell, acer and even HP.

Oh if it's for the rents then a lenovo is a great shout, very good build quality and those specs looked decent

O2 suggested downloading their app called TU Go, works over wifi when you have no signal
It's not amazing but worth a try

Main thing with laptops is make sure the fucking thing won't fall apart at the hinges. Build quality is the main thing in my opinion.
