Has anyone got any suggestions for an Ivy Bridge laptop for around £600, screen size must be no lower than 15.6'

Still looking for an Ivy bridge i5 within budget, anyone got any suggestions at all as the lenovo didn't appeal.

Thanks.

I'd have a look at the Dell Outlet if I were you!

(mods feel free to delete if we aren't allowed to mention this anymore?? - there used to be a whole thread but I can't seem to find it so maybe not allowed to mention??)

The budget is now £650, found a Toshiba Satellite L855-10P & a Samsung 350V5C are either of these worth considering.

Is there any i7 or i5 17'' 1080p laptops within budget that anyone would recommend, as both laptops i mentioned seam to have poor screen quality.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You should try and snag an Inspiron 15R SE or 17R SE off the outlet.

Regards.

Should have mentioned from start that the laptop is going to be a present, so a re furb is not an option must be new.

The family member wants to choose from the best in that budget, so looking for as many suggestions as possible.

Any help would be grate

Thanks
