yep i have checked all the other threads - and just getting confused
going to be pretty much bedbound for a while very soon and need to replace a 10 y/o aldi medion bargain desktop (still does pretty much all i need) but a laptop is going to be needed

budget - £400 max (pretty much - tho cheaper is :D)

15/17" screen - looks, colour weight, battery life unimportant but build quality is - as is futureproofing (as much as possible, ram and processor?),
windows 7 (no idea what the diff tween 32/64 is or means)

mainly used for surfing - skype, fb and some of that type of game, lots of surfing n many tabs open at same time - i like multitasking - and get very impatient at slow loading - but i don't download much or store heaps of stuff - so guess ram and processor is way more important than hard drive

dvd player/writer needs to be good quality with a good picture etc
responsive keyboard preffered
have a web cam so not essential but handy

online ordering and delivery is essential - i can't get out to look/try

asus, hp, compaq possibly prefered brands - tho each new link -- arrrgh
and trying to compare prices and processors ram etc - arrrrggggggggghhhhhhhh - pretty meaningless jumble of numbers that make my head hurt - as do all the reviews - and no idea how to compare them - since each website has what appears to be same comp but diff specs

please save me from getting so frustrated n desperate i end up buying a piece of crap
thanks in advance

The new HP G62 range are worth checking out, various specs available, nice build quality imo, much improved over the last years G and CQ series which were pretty poor.
 
thanks - i just went overbudget ( which decreases the very small budget for new tv to about 150 - running another even older aldi bargain alba there)
got this one http://www.******.com/product/194297
not having the slightest awareness of what all the diff processors are -or how to compare them even just deciding on the different hpg62 wa sargh - and usually i am very decisive and know how to get the info -
thanks for the help
