Ok lets cut the smalltalk and cut to the chase
The only thing you need to do is find a laptop with an Intel I3 (2nd Generation) processor at a price you are happy with
It will come with 3 or 4 Gb of RAM, It will come with a decent size hard drive 320 Gb or 500 Gb.
It will have Windows 7
Take Care, as there are lots of I3 1st Generation deals out there, the way to tell is that a first generation cpu will say something like Intel core I3-370M
The one you want will say Intel Core I3-2330M This is VITAL dont cock it up.
Take a look at this one, yes its a Dell, I like Dell http://www.dell.com/uk/p/inspiron-15-intel-n5050/fs
look at the £379 one, thats good, if you can go to £429 the next CPU up the I5 is a better option.
Other manufacturers I like are Toshiba, Acer & Samsung. I dont like Packard Bell, Hewlett Packard, Sony or Advent
Now the xmas sales are over and the recent hike in hard drive prices is about to hit, i expect retail prices to increase before falling back over the summer

Yes it is, because it should be in a museum
get something with the right spec and it should last you 5 years

Do as I did. Ring BT (or substitute your own Internet Service Provider) and tell them you're switching to another provider. They will then offer you a better deal and send you free their latest router. You should get a good deal from any of them.
That's what happened with me and it's £5 a month with free weekend calls.

you can buy a Tablet for 150 quid. Seen one in action and performs very well.

I got a Toshiba Satellite L730 and its the bees knees, they're about 400 quid I think but its certainly worth the money, I think mine has 4gb of ram, 640gb hardrive, and intel i3 processor and windows 7, I cant think of anything else you would need

Thanks guys
I am not confused at all now!!
I think I will look for the minimum spec I need (thanks Fragger) and just go for a reasonable price!
