I'm looking to buy an new laptop, ive got around £400 to spend,

what kind of spec can i get for that?
anybody know of any good deals around at the moment?

it'll be used for browsing and watch stuff like the boxing online.

thanks in advance for any help you can give

Good price, good spec and a 3 year warranty.... I'm tempted by this myself!

thanks,that looks quite good, i've never heard of that make before, are they any good?

Dangerous Malcolm..

They're as good as any other for the money. Dell's are worth a look, they've usually got offers on!!

Depends what you want really, Dell do good kit with big screens. I wanted portability so for £400 I bought a Samsung X120. Does everything I need, weights naff all and I can carry it about as and when I need it.

Had a Medion Tower PC been brilliant for the past 5 years, uncle has the Medion Laptop posted above has had no problems at all.

Like the look of this laptop, with it having HDMI output...

just bought a toshiba satellite, really pleased with it so would recommend anything by toshiba as my last one was and never had any problems

i don't know if i really need the HDMI output... the only thing i woud maybe like to do is stream the boxing onto my HD tv, would this help with the quality?

please excuse the stupid questions, its not something i've really looked into

wirralphil

HDMI would be useful if you download films and don't have a PS3 to stream them to.

For streaming the boxing you won't see the difference due to the site not giving HD tv.

if you know anyone off to the states, get them to buy one for you while they are out there, i just bought an ASUS with the i3 and a good spec for about that price from bestbuy
this link should be for the under $600 (£400) laptops
