Subject: Laptop - Finding the Best Deals for This Spec/How Much Should I be Spending?
-------------------------------------------
I am currently on the verge of buying myself my first Laptop for the coming year as I really need one for my own use though I have the problem in being able to find the best deals around for this pointless Spec (what I have summed up I want from my limited knowledge) as I don't know what it would be valued at in the first place to even say if it is worth a "deal" though they may have it on that.
The spec that I have set myself is this;
quoteProcessor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo (2.0 GHz Minimum)
Memory: 2048MB (Minimum)
Yeah that's about the minimum I am looking for though it will need to offer additional feature for the Internet and CD/USB use as well as additional feature for basic up to date games like Football Manager. I sore this (the second one) and though that was responsible though it will need the upgrade on the GHz to 2.0 from 1.83 though as you can tell I didn't like the price.
How much do you guys think I should be spending in looking for something that covers what I am looking for and if any of you know of any great deals on these then let me know as I am willing to look at them ^^
I myself am in the UK so if anyone does offer to help please keep it related to my location and currency if possible.
Thanks.

What size are you wanting? If your going to use it mostly at home for your main computer, I would go with a decent size, about 17". If you want it for portability, then go with a 15 or 14".
You will be looking at spending about $1,000 for a decent laptop. I recently got a HP laptop and I love it. I feel like I got a good deal for it.
The specs that you require are good; the intel core 2 duo is a good processor (I'm running one at 2.2ghz on this laptop), and your ram is good.
Check out some of
these HP models. With this coupon code (NB7995) you can get $400 off any laptop that costs $1,400 or more. I used a similar one when I ordered mine and saved $400 on my laptop.

I will be lookind for a 15' so for when I do need to carry it around it will be less hassle.
$1000/£500 doesn't sound to bad a price. Does the brand really matter to much?
Ive had a look at them though nothing come from it as I was not sure about shipping though it gave me a better idea of what I needed to look for.
Do you guys think
this is a good value for money?
