Hi there,
I really need help picking a laptop!!

I'm going to college in september so I need one quite soon!!

I'm looking around the £400-£500 mark.

I need it for storing photos and music, playing games and Skype. I'm not too bothered about not having much battery life but I do want it to be fairly fast, have good graphics and last for hopefully many years!!

Any ideas??

I was looking at this:

But I don't think it has a microphone for the webcam...any suggestions??
 
I'm looking to sell mine for around that, its a Core 2 Duo T6500 (2.1Ghz), 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, 18.4" screen, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670, Windows 7 Pro 32Bit, comes with office installed and you could have the carry case for £500
 
Oh sorry and its got a webcam and mic built in, as well as a media control at the side of the keyboard 😛
 
That Curry's Dell Inspiron 15R does have that integrated 0.3MP webcam with microphone.

Other good options:
Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 £420
Core i3-2310 CPU, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD 15.6" 1366x768 LCD w/ Intel HD 3000 graphics and 2.0 MP webcam with microphone.
Lenovo IdeaPad Z370 13" £436
Core i3-2310 CPU, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD 15.6" 1366x768 LCD w/ Intel HD 3000 graphics and 2.0 MP webcam with microphone.
