    Need to find a laptop for a mate in the UK. What are the best value/cust.service sites based across the way?

    Also any opinion on what machine to pick? Always favoured Asus myself but Toshiba rate highly too. Needs a big screen, HDMI out, possably Bluray, asides from that just the basics. No gaming or heavy duty work needed. Any models come to mind?

    Thanks Guys.

    Save on laptops are pretty good pricewise, can't speak of their customer service or return handling as I haven't had any problems, but shipping was certainly very quick.

    Not sure the budget is but I think this ticks all the boxes and would be a decent purchase that should last him a good while, a friend has a similar Ideapad (see below) and I was impressed with the build quality from what I saw of it.

    Although it may be overkill on the graphics card front, I can't find anything cheaper in the 17" size with bluray on the site (plenty of cheaper options with less powerfull GPUs if bluray is just a nice to have). If this is the case the i3 version would be perfect I think.
