I want to purchase a new laptop, £500 maximum. What is the best one and specification to go for ?.?

I want a new laptop, but my limit is to spend no more than £500 maximum - prefer nearer £400. What is the best one to go for, bearing in mind it will be mainly for internet use. What are the best combination of processor (speed & make), graphics card, ram, hardrive etc. Prefer bigger (17 inch plus) screen or larger. Will probably want to watch videos from Youtube or similar, e-mail, store photos etc.

Also looking at mobile internet, anyone know the best deal to go for ?.

    I bought a Toshiba just over a year ago, cannot remember the model! I also have a Dell which is supplied by work and I much prefer my Toshiba to the Dell. Mine has DVD drive, good graphics, 80Gb hard disc, I think it also has 512 internal memory. Battery life is a lot better than the Dell too

    Hope this helps

    look for vista premium, 1gig RAM or more, 1.73 Ghz processor or more (dual core is better), and an 80 gig or bigger hard drive

    look at http://direct.tesco.com/ 's range of laotops, also look at http://ebuyer.com/ for good laptop prices (I got my vista, 1 gig 80 gig 2.2Ghz laptop from ebuyer for £350)
