If you suggest what you're willing to spend on a laptop and mention what you will be using it for, I think people would be able to give you the best accurate advice for what you need.

For example, someone only browsing the net and using e-mail (basically the most simple tasks) will not need to spend anywhere near what someone who wants to do video/audio editing or more complex tasks.

I already asked the OP what budget they have but they havent said so i thought i started the bidding @ £700 and see which way it goes :rotfl:

I know, I know:P But just trying to re-iterate your point because the budget is a key essential we need to know along with what the main use will be for - as you'll know, one of the older processors may be absolutely adequate. Just trying to find that out since I don't know how we can give good advice other than to keep showing links to different laptops which may mean nothing specwise to the OP.

dont have a budget.....but need it for email/net, maybe some games....have a large music collection so sound and video and a largish hard disk for storage.

Was looking at Dell or Sony, dont have much knowledge on ACER ...any thoughts?

Im using an older Acer at the moment and it works ok.
I wouldnt trust Dell with a barge pole to be honest.
Sony are a big brand name and have one of the best machines on the market in the AR21S but thats at least £1500.
