I need to buy a laptop & haven't a clue about the different type of processors available etc, have had a look on some of retailers sites but don't know where to start in narrowing down my choice - is there a website that can help me in choosing whats right for me before i visit the retailers?

what's your budget if you have one/ usage type/ i3/i5/i7 processors will pretty much handle everything you throw at em -- within reason
the price increase is incremental with each/ thus / i3/ i5/ i7 (most expensive ) ///BLOODBATH IN THE EVENING THEN? :shocked: OR PERHAPS THE AFTERNOON? OR THE MORNING? OH, FORGET THIS MALARKEY!

budget no more than £400
I dont play games or watch dvds
I do my banking / shopping on line
I'm researching my family tree so I do use a printer a lot & prefer to use a mouse so at least 2 usb ports
don't need a webcam
have an ipod but its nowhere near full
upload photos occassionally but only have a 100 or so on the camera sd card
also need to buy a new printer thats is compatible with new laptop, again basic is all I require as i have access to photocopier at work
so it doesn't need to be all singing all dancing but reasonably fast & reliable0 -

heads shot trying to find laptop - spent a few hours looking at a few of those sites inc the link - problem is the more u look into it the dearer your narrowed down choice becomes - problem is can I justify £450 for my sort of usage - the flip side is if I spend £300 how long would it last!!0

A £300 one will probably last as long as a £600 one, and will easily do what you want
