I'm looking at spending less than £500 for a new 15.4" laptop for general use. I've currently found these:
ASUS X50SL-AP124C
15.4IN T5550 3072MB 320GB DVD, VistaHP

£470
or
Dell Studio 15
Dell UK
15.4IN T5550 3072MB 250GB DVD, VistaHP
£500
The price is fairly similar especiall if I add Office 2007 Home & Student which is cheaper if bought from Dell.
The Dell has had reasonable review from PC Pro/ Computer Shopper (can't remember which) but I've also been impressed with Asus recently.
Any comments on which would be better or perhaps suggest an alternative.
