Step-Dad has decided he wants a laptop after I have a PC, mum has a laptop and his PC didn't survive the house move (claiming on insurance obviously
). Budget is £500 MAX - so please don't suggest something higher than it because you'll be wasting your breath so to speak 
So far the best I could find was an Acer Aspire 7715Z for £399.99 and I'm struggling to find much better within budget.
Uses for it are basic; general office work, web browsing, DVDs etc - there will likely be no gaming as he's not into that sort of thing, he just wants the best performance for the money really (so going to be looking at a dual core CPU, 3GB/4GB RAM, large(ish) hard drive and windows 7).
Just seeing what other people can come up with
