Default Laptop suggestions?

Need a laptop.

Main use is for internet, but quite a bit of typing so needs a full size keyboard. Would need to be able to open PDFs, edit word documents etc from time to time. So chrome etc is probably out. No games.

Budget is £300-£400.
The thiner and lighter the better.

Good battery life.

Thats about it.

From the sounds of it, anything on the market would do what you want. Best bet is to go and use a few as you are more paying for the feel than the spec.

I bought one of these a couple of months ago

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/laptop...14897-pdt.html

Decent processor and better than Atom/Celerons, etc
Good battery. I can get over 3 hours real usage.
Very thin - nearly ultrabook size
Good size and not the normal bulky 15.6".
Keyboard is nice and easy to type on.

Really happy with it and I've been through a fair few laptops in my time.

Acer Aspire S3-391 13.3-inch Ultrabook is £429 at amazon. Down from £649. Looks a good deal?
