New Laptop

[magichater]

Hey guys

My brother in-law has asked me to find a laptop for him, but I don't know jack about them to be honest. I figured I'd ask here and see what you chaps are going for right now.

He's looking to spend a max of around £800-£1000.

It's mainly for office, web browsing and the occassional multimedia. Maybe the odd game here and there, probably something like C&C so it doesn't need to have a high end GPU.

4GB Ram would be good, also 300+GB HDD, and needs to be rock solid for work. Very reliable etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Although I can't give you a specific, model, I can tell you to look towards the Lenovo Thinkpads, they're very good and reliable business machines.

Frankly they are along the same lines as most other brands, esp when they have sales, which they have constantly.

I got my T61 for $900 something and back when I got it, that was quite a deal.

You can't go wrong with IBM/ Lenovo,
