New laptop

    Hi guys,

    Looking for a new laptop with around 15" screen. Will be mainly used for general web browsing maybe some word processing, email etc and also the odd game of football manager. My budget would be around 500-600. Could anyone give me any recommendations? Would a dell be the best way to go? I'v heard some mixed reviews lately on them.

    Thanks guys any suggestions would be appreciated!!

    Okay, slightly over budget but this seems to have a lot of things, plus a dedicated graphics card which would be more than capable of some decent gaming. Lots of room for movies and stuff too.

    I personally don't see anything wrong with Dell, our family mostly use Dell products, and none of them have had issues. I'm posting this right now on a 17" Dell laptop :)

    Well there's nothing really bad about having a Celeron if you're just using it for non-heavy stuff, but prepare to lose battery life if you do go for one.
