help me buy a laptop urgently

[TommyG]

Hey Guys

Posting from my iPhone as my laptop just died. I'm in the middle of exams and need a laptop this week. My budget is between ?400 and ?500 and must have office and some form of security running on it..

Please please please would you post up some links and any ideas which websites or shops to look in.

Huge thanks

Tommy

If you need something quick then you could walk into PCWorld and get a laptop today in your budget. I know their pricing isn't great but they do some fairly good laptops for like £350-£400 and you've got it straight away.

Or you could get a small netbook that does simple internet browsing and writing for around £150 if you didn't want to rush into making a descision costing £500 that you may later regret.

Sorry I don't know any great online retailers to look at.
