If you are a student of an eligible UK College or University and aren’t yet aware of the Microsoft Ultimate Steal then you could be passing a fantastic offer on Office 2010 and Windows 7.
With full editions of Office 2010 Professional Academic edition and Windows 7 Professional at dramatically reduced prices this could be the perfect ticket to the best PowerPoint presentation ever or even the backup fail safe that you need.
Once bought you can download your software straight away however I would suggest that you also order a backup DVD just in case.

Lighter than you would expect – 14” @ 1.76kg
If you like to travel light but don’t want to compromise on the size of your PCs screen then you might want to have a look at the Samsung X420 from Laptops Direct (link) for £608.65.
Weighing a mere 1.76kg and with a 14” HD widescreen this PC is even lighter than other alternatives (with smaller screens) like the HP dm3. While not the fastest PC on the market with a 1.3ghz Core2Duo processor the X420 makes up for it with an astonishing battery life of up to 9 hours (with many other reviewers stating 7 hours at real usage).
Available with Windows 7 Professional this PC lets you keep your networked files with you on the move by using the inbuilt synchronisation features of Windows.
Business Class Portability from Lenovo
With Windows 7 Professional 64bit edition, long battery life (around 5 hours) and a latest generation AMD Turion Neo dual core processor the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge (in Black or Red) series of notebooks is by far the perfect choice for mobile workers anywhere.
With a 13.3” LED backlit screen and ATI Radon graphics this PC is also fully capable of playing HD video and even has a HDMI port so you can hook up your PC to a HDTV and watch Blu Ray films (external Blu Ray player required) in all their glory.
Available from Laptops Direct (link) for £469.97 this ultralight PC (1.64kg) also comes with a multi touch track pad and a massive 320GB hard drive so you can keep as many files as you need with you at all times.

Every last feature in one Sony VAIO
With a solid state disk drive, 3G mobile broadband, hybrid graphics and an Intel i5 dual core processor the Sony VAIO Z11X9E/B notebook PC is generations ahead of pretty much everything else.
However with a price tag of £1644.97 from Laptops Direct (link) this level of technology should be entirely expected.
With Windows 7 Professional 64bit edition pre installed this PC is ready to go at a moments notice with business features like offline file synchronisation and network backup.
Not a Netbook but a Ultraportable – AMD Athlon Neo
Ever since Asus launched the very fist ‘EEE PC’ people have been looking on with awe at the mini ‘netbook’ style PCs. However the Intel Atom processor (which is featured in most netbooks) just can’t handle a world where the web is becoming filled with processor intensive flash applications.
Lucky AMD has come along with the Athlon Neo processor which has been combined with the ATI Radon HD3200 graphics core ultimately making a capable and powerful PC without the normal restrictions of a netbook.
One such ‘Ultraportable’ that has just been released is the Lenovo ThinkPad x100e.
Built with business in mind (but also a great option for students looking for a portable PC) the x100e certainly ‘raises the bar’ with its £403.96 (Laptops Direct) price tag and 5 hour battery life.
Thin and light but not lacking features
Thin and light notebooks have the wonderful advantage of being highly portable, although in some cases this also means some of the extra features (like a HDMI port) are missed out. However with the Toshiba Satellite Pro T130-14Q that statement couldn’t be further away from the truth if it tried.
Weighing in at 1.8kg and sold by Laptops Direct (link) for £599.97 this ultralight PC includes all the great features (including a 11 hour battery life) that you could need to work anywhere in the world.
HP Pro Book with Windows 7 – True professional PC
The new HP Pro Books are in with its stylish business notebook looks and Windows 7 Professional Edition.
Not only has the software been updated but HP are now including the all new AMD Turion II processor which makes for a longer battery life (especially when combined with the LED screen) and better performance.
Priced at £471.44 from dabs.com (link) and weighing in at 2.6kg this PC comes with a 15.6” widescreen. Being a professional notebook you get all the business class features like HP drive guard shock protection and a full number keypad (look to the right in the photo).
What’s more this notebook is also eligible for HPs £100 trade in offer – click here to find out more.
A Professional PC from Toshiba
Windows 7 Professional is great for Notebook PCs and includes extra features such as network folder synchronisation to make carrying around all your music and photos with you easier than ever before. The problem is most notebooks come with Windows 7 Home Premium; one exception is the Toshiba Satellite Pro L450D. Currently selling at £484.97 from Laptops Direct (link) this 15.4” notebook includes a fair priced specification with a AMD Athlon dual core processor, 4GB of RAM and HD ready ATI graphics.
Light as a 780g feather – VAIO X series
If a 1.3kg netbook isn’t light enough for you then maybe you should take a quick look at the Vaio X series which uses a 11.1” screen and weights a ridiculously light 780g!
With Windows 7 Professional, and cutting edge technology such as the latest Intel Atom Processor, solid state disk drive, multi touch track pad and built in 3G mobile internet this latest Vaio is a perfect demonstration of the finest mobile technology humanity has ever created.
As you might expect there’s a hefty price tag of £1,299 but that’s with a free 2 year warranty from John Lewis (link).
