Best i5 Laptop?

Looking for a new laptop and the new i5 processor from Intel looks to be good enough for me. What is the best laptop that has this processor though? I want one that has a 4gb ram (have looked through many laptops but none shine out at me:( )

    It depends on loads of stuff that you haven't told us. Your budget, screen size preference, intended usage etc...

    Laptops with an Intel i5 and 4GB RAM can probably vary from about £500 to around £1500. And someone has probably managed to squeeze it into a 12" or 13" chassis, while other laptops will have up to 18" screens.
  • Oh sorry, budget is between £500 and £700, screen size isn't that important, just an average 15" is good enough.. I like to use it for pretty much everything and want it to still be powerful in a couple of years. A i5 processor, 4gb ram, hd screen are all things I'd like.

    Oh dear... my £1500 estimation was a bit off.

    Your customised VAIO Z
    Total Price £4,725.02 inc. VAT

    Quite impressive for a 13" laptop. :p
