You'd be better off with a desktop if you're looking at that kind of budget.
(compressing parts and cooling systems in a laptop cost more
)
Secondly if you're looking for a proper gaming machine, a laptop's a no-go as a gaming laptop is really a desktop replacement, and will weigh lots (over 3 kilo's) which whilst it might not sound much, is after carrying it around for ages!

Also if you look at Dell, for £900, you'll get a decent processor, 512mb Ram, and a low-end graphics card, in a laptop.
In a desktop, expect a much-faster processor, double the Ram, and a mid-range graphics card.
The added cost of a laptop is that everything has to be made portable and power-efficiant.
Also don't bother with a gaming laptop if you intend to take it into school/college. Oh how we laugh when those who bought alienware's for Uni realise carrying 5 kilo's of Nv 7800's around is a bit unnecessary

That is rather nice, if you've got the cash though, get the upgrade on the processor (£30) and the 7800GT (£160) just so it lasts a bit longer!

Go for mesh. i find them better than Dell, they have more options, only thing to watch out though is they have CRAP customer support but hopefully you wont need to use that.

Ey ey ey HEY! I thought we had verified that Mesh are crap. You lads have got me round the bend and up the tree here.
Have a wee look at Evesham. Theyre allegedly far better than Mesh, but not too far expensive.
Oh, I also wanna point out my mate got a new PC recently thats rather good.
P4 3.8 ghz or so, with 1 gb of ram and a decent(ish) Radeon X700 for about 750 quid (i think). That was a Fujitsu/Siemens I belive.

[mod]Thread moved from The Soap Box to The Chat Box. Seemed more of a Chat Box thing. When Haven declares Tech.THN fully open for business, of course, this sort of query might be something to take over there...?[/mod]
Personally, I wouldn't touch anything that Mesh produce, given how badly a friend's PC turned out from them. In comparison, Dell's generally poor service has been great.
Isn't everyone being pointed to Novatech for PCs?

I think you might be able to work as a kitchen porter under 16, it pays well, but it's very hard-work
