I'm in the very fortunate position that my parents have said they will buy me a laptop I can use at university. Since this means I'll probably be selling off my current PC I'd like for it to basically be a desktop replacement.
I'm not interested in ultra-portability, and a long battery life is a nice bonus but not a requirement.
I would like a good amount of hard disk space (my current box has two hard drives totalling 609GB which are completely full, though I could cut it down if I had to).
In terms of specs I am looking for something capable of running my current games. I'm hoping for something that can run games that will be coming out over the next three years, but not necessarily on "high".
They haven't specified a budget (they just said "show us some ideas and we can talk about it") but I suspect £500, or possibly £600, will be their upper bound. However, I can probably contribute to this amount by selling my current PC and from my own savings, so I'd say £800 is my upper limit - but I'd prefer to get something for less if I can.
Does anyone know where I should start shopping, or can anyone make recommendations?
