Review sites for laptops?

Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
I want a new laptop, this one is well over least 5 years old, it's not too bad but beginning to fall over at times. Runs Vista. So I'm after another and wondered if anyone could recommend any review sites or places where I could plug in my requirements and get some recommendations.

Very basic needs: large screen (think this one is 15"); cheap and cheerful is fine!

I don't need it for gaming or watching tv. No music. All documents/photos (not many photos) are kept in Dropbox, very few sync-ed to the laptop, those that are are kept on the D drive. I use Openoffice. I keep my present laptop pretty clean, use CC and malwarebytes regularly these days and have gained a bit more usefulness since doing so, but even so, the C drive is pretty full, often below 1gb and freezes etc a couple of times a day.

Your thoughts please? Thanks.
