Tell your son to stop being so silly. i7 is overkill for laptops - he won't be doing anything that requires that sort of processing power, and it will kill battery life. An i5 with a decent mobile graphics card will be much better for gaming (if that's what he's wanting to do with it) than spending the extra money on an i7poppy100

sorry should have said £800 maximum not minimum, am slowly talking him round to an i50

i bought an Alienware m17x R2 off ebay (new) for around 900 last year. Is amazing!!0

Still way over budget for an i5. You need to say what he needs to do with his laptop.No free lunch, and no free laptop0
