I would use it for:
Microsoft Office
Championship Manager (not at snails pace, want it to load quick, etc)
Internet
Music, Ipod, CD/DVD Burning
I would also like it to be able to link up to my 32" HD Samsung TV so I can play stuff through my TV screen
What sort of price range will a Laptop like this be in??
Im after a nice looking one, with quite good sound and resolution!!
Im not very clued up on computers, so any advice on what memory or speed I will need or links to laptops they would recommend would be much appreciated!!
Thanks

Look on dell.co.uk
For the screen you want to ensure there is a VGA output on the laptop

Id imagine my TV has a VGA output on it, being a new style HD ready Samsung 32" LCD??
Any recommendations on which laptop would suit my needs best, as I dont wanna buy the top of the range one, as I know I wont be using everything it has, I just want something that is capable of doing what I require??
