Budget of £500... Recommend a decent spec laptop?

15", fast processor, decent battery and decent memory?

Thanks in advance

Well this is the best I have found and I have to say for the money the spec is great, Dell are good quality. £499 Pretty amazing I have to say Dell Studio 15 1558 Laptop 350M 2.27Ghz 4.0GB RAM 500GB HDD Jet https://www.uklaptops.co.uk/shop/Dell_Studio_15_1558_Laptop_350M__2.27Ghz_4.0GB_RAM_500GB_HDD_Jet.html

If it's just decent and top quality one your after I found this Sony VAIO VPCEB1E0E 15.5 inch notebook (Core i3-330M 2.13GHz for £530(Forgive me for going by £30 idiots/grease monkey's on here will quote it, they seem to have learned the art of copy and past, google and wikipedia,
I wonder if they know about ctrl+alt+del, then ctrl+v onto a word doc, new trick for them to learn and play with for as while, should keep em busy!)

If you want to run games I would look for the discontinued Acer 6930G or better still the 6935G, Blue Ray, Full HD, 2.0 GHZ, 1 GIG Dedicated Turbo cache Nvidia 9600M-GT which is an Hybrid SLI, 4 GIG DDR3 with a built in sub-woofer for great sound runs all games with ease nice and cool.
HDMI out too. You can pick them up for£300 to £400, put W7 on them and they are really quick.
Make sure it's 9600M-GT because it's a Hybrid SLI mobile card.
It's gunna have to be ebay for this one.

I bought mine for £400 reconditioned but as good as new form laptops direct in Huddersfield.
Mine was nearly £1,300 retail when first released.
You will need to call them to ask them what they have in the way of reconditioned laptops.
You will get a lot more for your money, they have some pretty good advertised deals too.

From my experience every Sony VAIOs we've had has always seemed slow for the price.
