Need a new laptop as mine is on its last legs. Would like some help picking out a new one. Want to spend no more than £500 and only use if for playing a few games like Football Manager and Starters Orders but need a decent size hard drive as the one ive got is tiny. Cheers blues

have you tried argos.i paid 320 year ago for samsung.i only surf the web and play poker good enough for me loads of memory and other techy specs which no doubt i'll get shot down for on here
 
sounds like you can buy anything you want (you don't need anything with spectacular performance) - and I'd suggest looking on Ebay for the best bargain than shopping in the high street; you'll find many clearance specialists with new and/or 'like new' refurbished kit, and save yourself some cash you can then spend on other stuff. Also you could check the outlet store on Dell's own site - always worth a look.

500 quid ($750) sounds like an awful lot for a laptop - if you don't require something with all the bells and whistles, and many manufacturers are selling entry level kit here in the States for half this price; although admittedly in the UK you'll need to multiply our prices by at least a third.

find yourself a model from last year (that was released 6 to 9 months back) and you'll save yourself some money.

not sure if this might work for you, but you can try it: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.dell.com/uk/dfh/p/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.dell.com/uk/dfh/p/</a>

Cheers will have a look at that. Had a Sony Vaio in the past and it was excellent so been looking at them but looks like i'll be paying an extra £100 just for the name.
