Default laptop bargains- please help

anyone know of any bargains out there, been looking to buy one for 2 years now ( ) but been persevering with an old toshiba and a netbook.

my brother is threatening me with violence if i dont have one ordered by the 20th april, as he is bored of me talking about it

our business is involved with the Dell EPP (employee purchase program) but havent seen any interesting offers for a while.

i though this was good

but my other brother (into pc's) said the screen resolution isn't good enough for blue ray and i should look for one with a better screen, after i had almost decided

i reckon i need a core i5, 1/2 a tb of storage and 4 gig ram, prefer to stick to the big makes as from previous experience they tend to last a bit longer

any suggestions?

moved to correct forum,

i think you will be quite limited screen resolution wise @ 15 inch, 17 might be better for you if your into blueray/dvd films

just looking quickly found a couple of good reviews .. best bet is to goto look at them in the flesh, take a film to watch and see for yourself. but with bigger screen comes more money to spend.
