New laptop, ~£500

[h11]

So my Macbook recently died and I'm looking for a new laptop, with a budget of around £500. It won't need to be capable of any major gaming, although running Portal would be a plus. I'll only really be use it for internet browsing and office applications (Word, Excel, Access).

Suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

And also decide for the size as you can find an Acer 1825PTZ (11.6" with touchscreen and an impressive battery life) for about the same price :

I saw it for about £550 at xxxxxx.uk, but I guess you can find it cheaper else where in the UK...
If you have the Acer 1425P in the UK (supposed to be a Celeron SU2300, but sometimes if not mostly delivered with a SU4100 such as with the 1825PTZ), you can have it for even cheaper.

EDIT : sorry, didn't know about this rule... ^^
I thought it was an informational forum...
EDIT 2 : I don't understand the problem with links inside the same forum ? It's just to not repeat the same things over and over...

I think one was directed at you, the other at the other poster. Linking to other threads here is fine.
