    Dell Inspiron

    Unashamed to say it was the "clickable lids" that swung me over.

    I'll be taking my 2009 MacBook Pro which, (I might add before people jump on and neg me for buying "overpriced" goods) I managed to get a hold of for £500. It's a solid machine, very durable; good battery life. Perfectly happy with it so I don't see why I'd need anything else for Uni .
    do you run any antivirus programs? i got mine quite recently =)

    Nope, I've not found any need to. OS X is generally secure so as long as you don't visit any really dodgy sites and only enter your password when you know what doing so will achieve. Have fun with it .

    Dell XPS 15. Had it for a few weeks and so many things are going wrong with it already
    Wow. I've placed an order for this laptop. Total price was around £860 (with quidco should come to £790). It has i52410m, 1080p, backlit keyboard, the 1GB GT 525m graphics, 6gb ram, 750gb hard drive. I'm having doubts about it - payment hasn't gone through yet either. What problems are you having?

    I've just seen a Lenovo with the same specs except the 1080p screen + blu ray and a different graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 6370M with 1GB Dedicated DDR RAM) for £580!

    Had it for a few months now

    It's an Asus laptop. Don't know the make but it runs everything nicely so pretty happy for the price I paid
