i am thinking of buying a laptop in the region of £400 £500.

The thing is is that i have no idea of what i should be looking for, wonder if you guys could help me out with a few things, what to look for and what kind of specs a decent laptop should have, i will be using it most of all for writing so a full size keyboard and nothing smaller then a 15.5 would be good, prob be storing a lot of music and photos on there, so over to you guys, links for UK businesses would be better as P&P is a pain in the butt hole.

many thanks

I have yet to see an an 15.4" with a full-size keyboard. You'll have to go 17" for that. HP Business laptops tend to be quite good.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

There's gotta be some hitch, either really, really thick edges of the screen, or some really, really small keys. I'm on an 15.4 widescreen right now, and I fail to see how any normal-sized keys could form a fitting numpad here...

Looks like a full sized keyboard if I searched the model right:
