Now i have your attention do you mind giving me some advice please - I am buying a Laptop for my Husband but do not have a clue about it. He would use it for downloading a few bits, nothing major, watching movies etc and would need a webcam for Skype. Would like it to be fast with a good memory. i have seen this one as my budget is about £400.

I think you've already told us what he'd be downloading...

I wouldn't buy a HP or Compaq btw - terrible service and poor build quality for the money.

Cheap but not great build quality.

I'd personally go for a Dell. Here are a few options:

Option 1:
http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&oc=N0056401&dgc=AF&cid=5212&lid=122756&acd=807bc45f7166ce4ed613423c20278522

Intel® Core™ i3-330M (2.13Ghz, 4Threads, 3M cache)

Or if you can afford a little more, one with 1GB more memory:

Option 2:
http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&oc=N0056402&dgc=AF&cid=5212&lid=122756&acd=807bc45f7166ce4ed613423c20278522

Option 3:

Same as option 1 but with a bigger 17.3" screen:

Option 4:

Same as option 2 but again with a bigger 17.3" screen:

http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&oc=N0076402&dgc=AF&cid=5212&lid=122756&acd=807bc45f7166ce4ed613423c20278522
