Hi, it looks like I may have to replace my 'Lenovo' (worst laptop i've ever owned & Lenovo support is absolute rubbish!).

I have £400 ish to spend on a new one, I use it mainly for doing simple graphics and art, e mailing, surfing and chatting with friends on msn. I don't do any gaming.

What does everyone consider to be the most reliable laptop please?

I was thinking of ordering this from Asda

http://direct.asda.com/Toshiba-Satellite-C660D-1C6-Laptop---3GB-RAM---320-Hard-Drive/000513483,default,pd.html

I only want to use it for word processing and surfing the net. Can someone with more knowledge than me (the rest of the population) let me know if it's worth the price of £259.

Many thanks.

No problems at that price. Looks a good, basic laptop. Only 2 USB ports.

Thanks TakeThis. As I said it's only for basic use so 2 USB ports is fine, I only ever use one at a time anyway.

Woo hoo, the samsung 5V511 arrived first thing this morning from Sainsburys - only ordered it yesterday. Its brilliant. Cant believe Ive got it all networked and set up so easily - fingers crossed it looks really good so far.
