You're going to get loads of different opinions here but I like Lenovo/IBM laptops - well made and seem pretty reliable to me. I have 2 which
are over 5 years old and still going strong with only 1 hard drive failure last year (which could happen to any Laptop)
Cheers

I've got a few Dell PC's for my company and they are always good.
Have a look at EuroPC (www.europc.co.uk). They are a Dell outlet for cancelled orders etc.
They are always cheap and you get the normal Dell quality and warranty.
Got my last one there and I was very impressed.

ASUS (rather than ACER) I've had mine for 8 years now and its still going strong
I know a few people with newer ones and there just as good
the K50** series ones should be in the right ballpark
looks like misco have quite a few in at the moment :

A vote for a netbook here - just got the compaq one from amazon, runs xp so nic and reliable (better than vista in my opinion) - easily runs office.
Plus has a camera and microphone built so ideal for skype.

Agreed - Currys are doing a ASUS 1001HA netbook with the same spec as much more expensive, but it has an 8.5hr 6 cell battery for £199!!
will do all you want it to but leave £300 for a holiday!

I & my family have had 5 Acers, all from either laptopsdirect or ebuyer, all excellent & any minor probs have been fixed under their warranty
even including a broken keyboard (broken by my daughters carelessness!) all FOC & their spec & value for money takes some beating.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.
