I need to get a new computer for when I study LLM at Queen Mary University of London starting next month. Could anyone suggest which company I should purchase my computer from and preferably which model? I'm no good at these things and am just looking for suggestions! Thanks :-)
Minor detail- which computer should I purchase for LLM in QMUL?

it all depends!..
are you after a laptop or a desktop?
I would suggest a laptop. If you want to purchase a low price range laptop, a netbook will be highly valuable asset for the uni life style. otherwise you can always purchase a proper laptop with cd drive..but in university, students hardly use the cd drive....i would suggest a netbook (samsung) or a MAC...

Processor Speed : 1.6 or + Ghz

Thank you! I'm sorry I wasn't too clear, obviously I meant laptop but there are no specifications for the course right? Cos in some schools they have preferences.. And also, what I really wanted to know was whether it had to be windows or if it could also be Mac. And you say Mac is good, so that's great! Thanks again :)

Hi!
I am also going to QMUL. Where are you planning to stay? I have got Chesney.
I already have a laptop, which is a hp compaq. I am planning to bring that along with me. I also agree with the specifications that Rabia has given. I suppose your laptop have to have at least those requirements that he has given.
Hoping to see you next month..

Yes. Its at Mile end. The FB group is for last years batch. I suppose we have to create one for ourselves :-)
Hope you got your laptop.

I'd say spring for a Mac ;) Even entry level would be sweet.
I'm at QMUL, and use a mac, but I see people using pretty much whatever they like. The course material is mostly delivered via the web so anything with a browser!
