IM looking to buy a reasonably priced lap top for some one as a present

 

Anybody like to recommend a particular make or model. There seems to be a fair few out there. Im looking for something with a minimum 160GB HD 3g of ram etc Vista home premium

 

 

Places like pc world have a few tosh satellites, but they do not look that robust.

 

 

So your advice warmly welcomed

Thanks to those who have responded.

Its for a female, I doubt she will use it for gaming apart from patience type card games.

That's a great help for him then.... post some specs and be all smug about your purchase, even though it's not going to help him one bit.
