    What is your budget, and what are your requirements?
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    The problem is within brands they have different levels of quality depending on the target consumer.


    Eg I would happily recommend HPs Elitebook or Envy line but be more cautious over their pavilion line. even then a certain model might be a dud...

    Laptop £350 max
    General internet browsing, storing music on. Very light use in general, maybe a bit of word processing but nothing major.

    Desktop preferably under £450
    Internet, storing photos (lots) and music. Mainly used for photo editing, desktop publishing, storing genealogy data and a lot of word documents. I often need to have several windows open at once so need to have a machine that has got memory capacity and speed enough to cope with that.

    I like Medions . Mainly sold direct, they have a higher spec than similarly priced brands and have regular special offers, too. I bought my present one with a £50 off code and a further £16+ off through Top Cashback.
