I'm looking for a laptop for my daughter; looking to spend £500 - £600.
Any recommendations on brands to go for/avoid, please?

To go for:
Dell
Acer
Wife has run a couple of Acers now and theyve been very good.
I am a Dell disciple and rate them highly.
Others will have their own views but both Acer and Dell provide good specs at relatively cheap prices.
I suggest checking them out physically at such places as PC Worms, Currys, Staples, then search for a better deal online against those model numbers.

Acer or Lenovo..
Few chaps I know who do IT repair stuff like Dell because they get a lot of business fixing them..lol..
SWMBO's laptop in an Acer.. Pretty high spec and a few 'toys'.. Really good value. Try
www.dabs.com for pricing.. Sometimes they come in a little cheaper.

Don't go for Lenovo - they are nothing but trouble. At work we're just going back to Dell (thank God). They only moved to Lenovo because they got what seemed to be a good deal .....
