I have £400 to spend on a laptop, don't really want to spend anymore than this...
i went into tesco today and saw this.. Gateway MT6223B Laptop - Tesco.Direct
@ £399.97
seems like a nice bit of kit, but if i am honest i am not overly trick on laptops... any advise or suggestions would be great!!

Its not a bad bit of kit, but I'd suggest getting some more memory for it. It has 1GB-256MB for the graphics card leaves you 744MB for the OS and I would imagine Vista could do with a bit more to run smoothly.

Gateway aftersales support is famed for being one of the worst out there, (and the machine reliability sometimes isn't great either). I personally wouldn't touch them with a very long bargepole.
Can't go wrong with a Dell. We've bought loads of them at work over the last few years, and never had any problems at all. In fact I'm typing this on a Dell laptop

Someone beat me to it with the offer too, but thanks Nick 
Not for profit, just for workmates who've been on the lookout since I snagged the £299 deal a couple of weeks back.
