Another thread got me thinking ,where would be the best place to get a laptop from,i want it internet ready able to connect to a router and play games on,i dont use the web to buy,and wondered what you guys recommend as far as shops are concerned?

Find a cheap place online that has a physical shop and get JL to price match. "Never knowingly undersold".

I don't know if your reservations extend to ordering by phone, but I've bought all my IT stuff from Misco.co.uk for years, and they're brilliant. You can order online or by phone as you prefer, and if you ring you'll find you're talking to someone who really knows their stuff and is genuinely keen to help you find the right thing. (Very keen prices too.)
