Because I know nothing about laptops!
Need a new laptop for the wife to be which needs:
15.3" or 17" Screen size
Good battery life
One of those really clear shiny screens
Be able to run WoW and Sims3
Good Sound Quality
Wireless
Not too heavy
Budget: Ã,£400
Thanks

Lots of Acers available at that pricemark. You need to make sure of the spec as each model comes in a multitude of configurations.

Cheers Old stuff but I don't know enough about laptops to make a good decision.
Come on you guys 32 views so far! I know some of you are harbouring laptop knowledge!
Help a hoody will ya!
This months issue of PC Gamer (or whatever its called now) has a useful review of gaming laptops with performance vs price for different systems. Also the guy writes a diary over 7 days of his experiences of moving from a decent pg gaming rig to a gaming laptop - might be useful?
Bottom line is for an extra Ã,£300 over a PC you can have similar performance and for a grand a system that will run all the latest games on high settings albeit it on a 15" screen - though the battery life was awful when playing demanding games. Food for thought though.
Oops just saw your budget... :(
Would this do the trick?

Its a Refurb so if it is too bashed up I can return it under the distance sales act can't I?
I'd say always go for a good brand in laptops. In desktops, you can get away with bamboo PCs because you can select most of the parts inside, but laptops is different. I have had a couple of no names over the years, and also brand models, and I will never ever go no name again.
macbook :D
