As the title suggests I have ~ £500 to spend on a new laptop. Does anyone have any suggestions or spotted any good deals whilst trawling the tinterweb?
Thanks in advance

If you can convince them that you are a business user, which should be easy enough then PCWB have some pretty good offers usually. Got my acer 8204 when it first came out for £900 which was worth around £1750.

TBH, we have had really bad problems with an Acer with vista loaded on it :wall:
I personally wouldn't touch one with a barge pole
We ended up taking it back and spending a few more pennies and getting a vaio
