I'm buying a new laptop in the next day or two - I reckon I could stretch to about £800. Any advice on what I should get? I've got a Sony Vaio at present & it's done a great job for over three years now, although things are starting to 'go' on it (wireless card & CD-Rom drive have both bit the dust for example).
I won't be using it to play games on, just working, betting, updating itunes library/spotify etc. All suggestions gladly received. Cheers :)

i would say it's pretty pointless spending that amount of money then.got mine for £450 and i do a lot of dvd ripping and encoding and a lot of music conversion and mine does the job a treat.was a Compaq Presario by the way.

another query. I have bt boradband, but have lost the installing disc. Can I just enter the user and password on my new lap top, or do i need to ask them to send me a new disc?

Good point Busta. Guess I could spend some cash on a hard drive storage thing too?
