Why not try and get that one from eBay? You might be able to get it cheaper.

Yup for that much you can get a very good top of the range Sony for around 600-700

You can also probably get a laptop with a mid/high end graphics card for you to play games on.

Lappy's are cheap nowadays, even cheap in PC World! So that just shows how muh cheaper you can get it for from online stores/sites.

But what about the 2 year cover?

Ok I work for Currys/Pc World their whole cover plan is a load of crap mate on items like laptops its useless, unless your planning on making a claim yourself in a years time

Na dont buy it from John Lewis man, Zak's got a crap laptop ive seen his.

I would recommend you buy from Dell, Sony or HP. For me Dell and Sony come close together. I am like this close >.< in buying a laptop myself.

Ive looked at the Sony website and Dell website, you are able to add subtract what you like.. So.. meaning = you build your Laptop you can choose what you want in it and what you dont want.

But if you want to love your Laptop i would recommend whatever you do get a widescreen lappy 17". Im using this HP laptop at work with Vista on it.. its 17" dyaaaamn it was soo wicked or what man. Just like a PC.

But a big downside with all lappy's man the battery dies like super fast, like super, max it will stay on for 3 hours and then you need to plug in adapter. My PC is on like 24/7.

Im stuck in my room and i was contemplating asking friends whether i should get a laptop or not so i can get out of this dump in my room! lol But yea. Get a 17" wide laptop, and customise your laptop.
