For that price gaming would be a bit of a problem. But it all depends on games though

I usually don't buy big brands simply because I am tired of cleaning up all the preinstalled cr*p. For you - check the Novatech's own brands.quite good specs / price ratio. BTW, you are always welcome to do it in my shop: bestbuylaptops.org.uk

For her, hmmm.... Dell range I guess. Good luck!

Lets establish a budget of £1000 for both then.

Your not gaming, your probably not video editing or doing intense multimedia then... so we could split it £300 yours, £700 hers? Then she could get something that she could game on.

Dabs.com are one of my favourite sites for new, they also have a clearance corner: http://www.dabs.com/clearance-corner

If you want an aff link I have one somewhere ^^

Ebuyer.com is another great site for electronics and anything computer related. Might find some good deals here:

Mobile cards don't generally cut it for 'gaming' though.... depends on the games though ^^

I have Dell Inspiron myself and it's been fine.

For her, if you need a bit more power for gaming, then Dell Outlet may be worth a look - refurbs offering more bang for your buck.

As usual, do your own research too.

I like Dell for their value for money. I also tend to find laptops normally break after two years, so make sure you have everything backed up on an external hard drive.

Oh and this is very much higher end of budget, but alienware speaks volumes:

I got this one for my Brothers Birthday – great spec and looks for the cash. He absolutely loves it.

Also worth noting that the one I got came with an external DVD drive (not listed). Not sure if Amazon just made a mistake, or if the description is wrong – either way, was a nice surprise. As it's not listed though, I'm guessing there's a chance that the one you receive won't.

There's also a slightly lower spec version available for £339.

Worth noting that the above laptop wont be any good for gaming (intel integrated) but great for you.

For her, looking down the page I saw this:

Its another HP with ATI Radeon graphics, which is at a pretty nice price. Again, depends on games ^^
