Not wanting to get another Acer or Compaq as both my last ones have given me trouble

Budget is £370 or less and mainly browsing the web, emails and letters.

I got this last December, can recommend if you don't mind it feeling abit plasticy and creaky.

I got it from John Lewis for £399 with a 2 year garuntee. (John Lewis are very good when things go wrong).

Spill resistant keyboard... LOL - worth it just for that. It will collect all your toast crumbs, fag ash (if you smoke) and coffee/beer/wine dribbles ready to hoover up when you are ready. 

A good spec for the price IMO. Good processor, RAM and HD size. The only down side is the graphics resolution of 1366 x 768 can look a bit grainy if you are used to a full HD TV or desktop PC. 6 hours battery life is useful (but that probably means on standby - LOL).

A good spec and a good find I think. It will still take an age to boot and have loads of bloatware but if you are PC savvy you can take that off later.
