It would help if you gave us a budget. Also will you just be typing on it etc?

Well i'm not looking to spend more than £1000. It would mainly be used to typing and accessing the internet. As long as it can run games like Football Manager.

Well, I'm not sure what to recomend, all I know is that you just need to decide how much you're willing to pay, and what you need it for. Then you either get it or wait for it to go on sale. If that's all you need it for.. it probably doesn't need to be that great. I'll look around for you.

Umm check to see if you can get laptops through the school. I know some get a bulk of laptops and sell them to Freshman at a pretty good price.

Dell's UK site. Some people seem to have complaints about their customer service but I've never had a problem. In fact I've got an eight year old dell laptop that runs fine.

Thanks alot.

Yea Myrdaal, i was looking at Dell Laptops, they seem reasonable. I'm just no good at telling what's a good spec.

Generally, to tell if the specs are decent, just look at a bunch of big name brands and compare them. They're all usually about the same specs if you pick the models of the same price range. Once you do that, just pick the one you think you get the best deal on.
