Packard Bell-Barrichello-C, the perfect entry level laptop

Bruce Whitfield speaks to Toby Shapshak, chief at Stuff Studios. 

If you're a student, or you need to buy a child their first laptop, then this one would tick the box.

The Packard Bell-Barrichello-C Notebook PC is not a high-end product, so don't expect to able to do any gaming on here.

It's a simple machine, designed and equipped to complete simple tasks.

It has a 15.6" display, Intel Celeron N4020 processor and 4GB DDR RAM. 

It retails for about R6,000, but you can pick it up for cheaper. 

"It's a solid work machine, that if you're studying or it's your first computer or you're buying it for kids in school, it's exactly the kind of thing that you're looking for."

- Toby Shapshak, chief at Stuff Studios

"It's a very good price. It's under R5,000. This is a very decent, solid entry-level computer."
