Whats the Best Laptop £550 can get me? - Or Specs that are needed.

abra_2

I have been franticaly reading through "The Great 'Cheapest Decent Laptop' Hunt" sticky thread in this forum, whilst running through currys.co.uk ; pcworld.co.uk etc. trying to find the best offer for a laptop which is £550 or less...

Laptop will be used for when I am working (so needs to be able to play games, watch DVDs, burn DVDs etc), lots of Ram, memory, decent graphics card... anyone know of such a bargain (or miracle), or shall I continue to wait for bigger sales discounts.

Thanks & Happy Xmas

thanks for the links barneystuta some look like good deals & thanks for the tip browntea.

However, I am not too sure about "Shared Graphics" memory, is it better to have one that is not shared?

Should I be aiming for 256 megs graphics card or would 128 be suitable

Dell had some good deals on before Christmas.

Our desktops have all been Dell in the last 10 years and have been superb quality.

Have a look at the Dell website.
