I need a laptop for the family as ours broke. It will be mainly used by family to browse, word process and my little bro may occasionally play some low-med spec PC games. 80GB Hard disk will be sufficient.
I have read Lenovo, HP, Sony and Asus are reputable laptop companies. Is this correct? And are there any other laptop companies worth looking at? e.g. Toshiba.
The budget is around £400, preferably less and needs to be a UK website.
I've been looking on websites at refurbished laptops on Currys and PCworld. Are they worth buying? Or shall I just buy new, they do come with 1 year warranty.
Here are some Laptops I've seen. I think the first one is the best. Can you recommend the best one or maybe a better alternative.

Also I'm looking to build my first desktop for Uni, which I start in sept/oct. I will have a budget of around £500 for just the main unit. I would prefer to build it now so I can play some PC games during free time. However, I am willing to wait if any new technology is being released soon, so existing technology is made cheaper. Are any new components/graphics cards coming out soon? (heard ATI bringing out new stuff) Or shall I just build it now?
