Hi Techy people
I am looking for a laptop that is reasonably fast.
I have a main PC with a wireless router.

I have no idea about computers, all I know is I would like it to work through my wireless gadget, be reasonably fast & have pentium thingy inside and also bluetooth.

Havent a clue where to look other than PC world & which are decent makes(main computer is a dell which has been great)
Dont want to spend loads, either..
Can any of you people with techy knowledge suggest anything based on that?
Thanks
Fluffy

Pentium is old technology now, you want a Core 2 Duo if you want a fast, modern processor. If you like Dell have a look at https://www.dmxdimension.com for the latest deals on Dell laptops.

No-one can really advise you unless you tell us what you want to do with it, and what your budget is.

That's a bit close to the bargain-bucket, something like this Samsung at £449 from Tesco perhaps - http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.202-9739.aspx

How about the one on this page for £399 ? It doesn't include bluetooth but you can add it via Dell fro £29 or alternatively buy an adapter yourself. For what you want you could go for one of the cheaper Celeron oens but the Core 2 Duo processors ar much bette and 2Gb of RAM is recommended for Vista.
