New Linux laptops are set to revolutionise the way youngsters on a budget are able to buy laptops to use at school at school.

The laptops which run on Linux and therefore avoid the expensive windows operating systems are available for less than £199 in the UK.

The company that is launching the system in the UK is called RM.

The main thing that students are looking for when buying a laptop is price, price and price. Most students have limited funds and another factor to take into consideration is security.

Student dwellings are notoriously insecure and students often have possessions stolen from them with little chance of anything being recovered.

So what students are usually looking for is a cheap medium spec laptop with some kind of laptop insurance against theft.
