15" laptops at PC World: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/laptops-netbooks/laptops/laptops/703_7006_70006_xx_ba00002921-bv00301568/1_20/price-asc/1_xx-criteria.html (In ascending order by price)

Being a programmer myself, I would buy this: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/laptops-netbooks/laptops/laptops/asus-f551ca-sx079h-15-6-laptop-21837703-pdt.html?sPageInfo=1_20&sSortInfo=price-asc

Mainly because it is good looking, cheap, 500GB hard drive and 4GB RAM which is more than plenty for just programming and very useful for multitasking.

best price/performance I could find on newegg. There is an i5 laptop for 500, but I don't know if it's worth the extra.
