    Laptop advice please....

    I have some money spare and i am considering buying a laptop for my bedroom

    I have searched the internet and the search bar on here but i still can't put my hand on what i want.
    So a little info, i have no idea about laptops and what 'ram' and 'gigahertz' and all the other technical thingy's mean so any advice will be helpful.

    With a budget of 250-450 pounds what should i be looking at? The laptop will be used for solely browsing the internet, watching films and coming on RR and absolutely nothing to do with watching adult movies in the privacy of my loft.

    Thanks all.

    Well, internet and films.
    You're not exactly going to be stretching the capabilities of a modern laptop.
    Anything you buy that's within your budget will do the job.

    Sony aren't very good value for money [IMHO] - ACER have some excellent models and have a lot of nice features.

    Dell are fine, over the last 5 years [for work] I've bought 3-5000, no problems at all. Tesco are knocking out some on good deals at the minute.

    Lion's right. If you aint playing games or doing anything intensive then the cheapest laptop you can find will be right for you. Only thing to consider is average battery life and HD space.

    Dell's Laptop innards are virtually the same as most other makes bar Sony. Just get one that looks pretty.

    If you need something more powerful then pm me. I build performance PC's and laptops (occasionally) myself and have done so for 18 years.
    RT for AET in April 2010.

    Everything done.

    Early summer 2012, hopefully.

    Have you considered getting a tablet ? I have the xoom and im using it more and more instead of using my laptop.
    We are the most powerful military force in the history of man. Every fight is our fight. Because what happens over here matters over there. We don't get to sit one out. Learning to use the tools of modern warfare is the difference between the prospering of your people, and utter destruction. We can't give you freedom. But we can give you the know-how to acquire it. And that, my friends, is worth more than a whole army base of steel.
