No particular reccomendations at this moment in time, we have been looking for a few weeks for an additional laptop all seem great online however when feeling the actual laptop they all feel fairly poor quality and I don't have much confidence in them.

I'm still a fan of Acer but haven't bought a new Acer for a year or so now, I think all companies are cutting costs on the build quality and considering the fact a laptop is moved around alot I feel this is more important than the processors and .5 of a Ghz.

Best bet go out and have a look and feel, I think you pay for build quality nowadays as opposed to the actual specification.
