    This is my current laptop:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/G60-114EA-15-6-inch-Laptop-Intel-Pentium/dp/B001H9O20W

    I love it and it has served me very well! No problems, runs games perfectly, good enough graphics... The family laptop (Compaq similar model) has just given up and I'm thinking of giving this one to my parents and buying a new one for myself. I paid €699 for this one back in November 2008. So anyone could recommend a nice laptop with good graphics that will satisfy me as much as this one did I would be very happy :)

    You looking to spend a similar amount..€699.?
    Any preference on where you buy from?
    Online or InStore?

    Its got dedicated graphics so better than laptops with the integrated graphics.

    I'd spend €600/€700! It doesn't matter where I get it....as long as I get the best deal!

    Just wondering have you bought from that site and do they charge much for delivery?

    Actually this laptop here looks better :
    http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/Lenovo_G570_1076389.html

    New sandybridge processor
    6Gb Ram (compared to 4GB)
    640GB HD (compared to 500GB)
    Very Similar if not tiny better Graphics
    Better Stated battery life.
