Need laptop from Currys/PC World ASAP

    Hi Guys,

    I have a voucher for Currys/PC World and I need a new laptop pronto as my old one has died, however I'm not sure what to go for, so thought I'd ask you knowledgeable folk for some opinions!

    Budget is around up to E500.

    Will be mainly using it for: Internet, e-mail, YouTube, downloading/streaming video, watching movies, some digital photography, photoshop etc... nothing too heavy though, don't need a gaming laptop by any means!

    Would like it to be a newer generation i3 processor, and possibly with around 6GB RAM aswell.

    Size isn't an issue - the bigger the better! I have a tablet so I don't need anything with a small screen size or something light and portable - it will be used at home 99% of the time.

    So 15.6' screens upwards are fine! Don't want anything smaller than this.

    Have so far been looking at:

    Not sure what to get atm..

    I've been reading some bad reports about HP regarding battery and graphics card issues - should I be wary or would a G6 be ok?

    How about Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung.. what are reliability and hardware like with these brands?

    Want to pick up something over the weekend, but my head is melting with all the choices! :confused:

    Any input/feedback/suggestions greatly appreciated! :)
