Help finding laptop for ~£500

[makavelli]

Ive been looking on the dell site as well as dixons,currys and pc world but cant figure out which is the best comp to buy for around 500 ?!

im looking for around 500 pounds and no more than 600, i would be after a comp with a lot of memory (for my music) and the comp will mainly be used for music (itunes) and internet browsing, im not a gamer so that doesnt matter

can anyone help or shed any light?! suggestions are very welcome lol

cheers

I recently got a Sony Vaio.... think they're going out of stock quick and coming to the end of the run. I know you can get quicker laptops with bigger screens etc but its very well made and works smoothly.... also I just like Sony stuff!

I paid £499...

 

[oska]

That's a decent price for the Vaio! Stay away from Acer!

I bought an Advent 7201 from PC World for £399 a few months back. I like it does everything I need it to do.

 

[makavelli]
