I have a 7 year old Acer Aspire that still works, albeit a bit shit now so can confirm they live long!

I find this a decent place to start to get an idea of whats available. Then after you find a few good ones you should google them and look for reviews, just to be safe it isnt some shit.

What are you mainly going to use it for? What kind of games do you want to play on it? We talking Crysis 3 / Bioshock Infinite or Sims 2?

Well desktops are awesome and obviously better suited for gaming than laptops. You totally sure you want a laptop?

Soo we talking a laptop that can run Guild wars 2, whats the price range?
