[QUOTE="jimbro, post: 114902, member: 12455"] I bought my current laptop as a general use item although I've always used powerful computers It's an Asus N55 series with Intel i7-2670QM CPU, 6GB RAM, 750GB HDD and 2GB dedicated graphics Cost in the UK was £650 around 6 months ago so it would be cheaper now. I like the flexibility of laptops as you can always have a PC dock at home with large screen, keyboard, etc attached. HDD size wasn't an issue as I have my own 5TB cloud I can access from anywhere but the 750GB drive is nowhere near full Main apps I run are Photoshop Elements 10 MS Office 2010 Pro IE9 Samsung Kies(syncs up to my Android mobile) View NX2 VLC media player £650 is nothing for a decent laptop now but I've yet to notice any slowing of this one despite throwing everything at it and Asus are known for reliability [/QUOTE]
