I used to use these guys.

They're not perfect, and I think going slightly downhill as they get bigger but I will probably still use them

last year i built a really nice pc buying parts from ebuyer.com

i have never built a pc before, but managed it

depends if you have the time to build it.... or can be bothered

Here in Oz, laptops are as cheap as anything, I assume the same is in the UK. What's the point in buying a bulky PC when you can buy a mid spec HP laptop for the equivalent of £400.

pros and cons for both i suppose (i use both for different reasons)

I use dell... register with them and get monthly offers

for cheap laptops i would say HP are deff great.. got one 2 years ago and still running just fine (although i could do with a new one)

i have never used dell, but know a few people who did with mixed reviews.

Dell are ok for business use, I agree HP is better for home use / multimedia features

i use HP laptop for business (+ custom built pc)

the reports i get are dell are ok for short term use (eg use for 1 year then chuck and get another one) having never used them myself i cant back this up.

tbh i think pcs are getting good enough now that most are ok.

I would warn against just buying a £450 cheap laptop from Dixons, someone i know did this and their laptop is slower than my 3 year old HP laptop

If you don't mind building your own (takes about an hour) then spec it out and Google UK (or eBay) for the bits. Cheapest way to EVER build a PC to order.
