Help choosing a laptop

googles84

Hi, im looking for a laptop for general home use, i would prefer it to have:
17" screen
windows 7 or vista
3-4GB memory
Intel i3 or i5 processor. (is there a huge difference between the two?)

Any ideas where i might get a system that is cheaper than £449 that Dell have quoted for their base Inspiron 17

Thanks

I doubt it, especially for a 17 inch. Dell seem to have the cheapest i3/i5 laptops going at the moment.

is it worth going for an i3 or i3 is there a marked difference than say a dual core, would i be better just going for a dual core or similar
