Hi all,

Looking at possibly getting a new laptop thru work and its so confusing with all the different types of processor etc so would like to know if anyone has any suggestions.

I'm think I would look for something under £800 (inc VAT). Needs to be 4gb at least, with a good battery life, quiet and needs a bit of meat in the performance department. Not sure between dual core , core 2 i3/i5 as which will be the best option. Also not bothered if it is AMD under the hood.

Typical use will be with an external monitor as well so a 13/14" is ok as well as the normal 15" screens. I would have most of the office apps open together with Firefox, Dreamweaver and an ftp app with normally firefox, ie and safari open as well :-).
