Can anyone better this please. It's a bit of a minefield.

[dazed]

what do you want to use it for ?

and what features do you need ?

That can be easily bettered on the Dell Outlet. I buy that sort of spec for less than £300 there to resell on ebay.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but Dell also sells on ebay.

I too am looking for the best laptop under £500. I would prefer mine to be Vista ready and the Toshibas are looking pretty good.

However, I am looking hard for the best storage, ram, memory, processor, speed, graphics cards (preferably not SHARED) in the best make possible.

Here are a few links I have found. Its tough cos I want to take some aspects from one and mix them with other aspects of others! I am buying pretty soon, so if anyone has any advice or better offers, PLEASE let me know!

This is one of the cheapest I have found for the specs on offer. Just dont know about Acers? They seem to have OK reviews?

Same price, less storage, looks better, better make?

Good make, less specs?

Dells best for that price range (scroll down under the price on the right and change the home servicing to 1 year - they automatically put you down for 3 years which adds heavily to the price. It works out at £425) http://configure.euro.dell.com/dells...ftdppnotebook1

Would appreciate feedback
