After a few months of not a lot, and I'm still hunting for a new laptop, currently if I'm going to part with my hard-earned then it looks like a revisit to Toshiba Satellite series.
More specifically the C50 series model which is available in many CPU flavours ranging from 'student' ( read also: "Celeron processor") laptops to quasi-capable desktop alternatives in either AMD or Intel flavour, the one I'm been eyeing up is powered by the Intel i5-4200m which is a capable chip and doesn't break the bank with most offerings at around £500.
