Hi all,
Yep, it's one of those 'recommend me a machine please' threads :-) Am on the look out for a new laptop. Have quickly considered a Chromebook, even using it alongside my current old, slow laptop, but have decided it would be too limiting. So, have come to the obvious experts here for a bit of advice and pointing something my way. Some details below;
Budget - Can stretch to £500, but ideally would like something under £400.
Usage - I'm not a gamer, bar standard games such as Football Manager, so doesn't need to be anything too high powered. I do a bit of website work, alongside graphics production using Photoshop etc
So, really looking for some pointers. Have done some searching myself, seem to be quite a few options out there, but am not too up on the breadth of current processors, hence my request for a bit of a pointer and recommended machines.
Cheers for any help.

If you're doing graphics work, have you got a good external monitor because a £400 laptop is going to come with a 1366x768 TN panel most likely.
Does this laptop need to be portable or will it be sat at the same desk most of its life?
Yep, got a good widescreen monitor. It will need to be portable. Weight in itself isn't that much of an issue though, but obviously the lighter the better.
