i'm looking for a laptop, but theres so many out there i havn't got the knowledge to know whats best for the money could do with a bit of help if anyone knows there stuff, rep given!
i wanted to spend around the 500 quid mark maybe a bit more if i need to, i want the laptop mainly for uni work but wouldnt mind it to be able to play a few decent games on it, but aint got a clue which graphics cards are good.
Searching the net for a while i've found these three which seem the best within my budget, but that only with my VERY limited knowledge, are there any better for the money?

Hope someone can help! :y:

Out of those 3, the First one fo sho. You could consider a couple from this site, http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/nbranges.html.. One of my Friends bought the Sorar Pro and its a very good machine.. The only other thing I could suggest is going into the Currys, Comet etc.. and asking someone about what you need a laptop for and them being able to go into details about the right one for you =P

yer i saw another post about their laptops, but i like the convenience of just being able to take it back to the store down the road if it brakes, just for the ease of use really.
I just spotted these two on staples the screen is alot smaller but it might be good as i want to be able to take it to uni with me all the time, plus i know someone who works there ;) what do you think of them?

They both look good to me, true, it is easier to take back if it does break =P
