Hi All,

finally got to a point where i need a laptop, haven't really got a clue so would appreciate any recommendation on goood options. it will be mainly used for the following

I am PC and wish to stay there. lol

budget £500

image editing using Lightroom 5 and photoshop
shooting teathered on shoots
generally office stuff using office
be good to have a camera in it for skype

many thanks inadvance
 
There won't be many good laptops at that price. Just buy the best compromise between cost and power, considering you may want to keep some cash for another purchase fairly soon. The screens will be very poor, so not great for editing at all.
 
At this price-point I would consider looking at a 2nd user Dell Precision laptop, you will get far more for your money and warranty to boot to in some cases. Scouring eBay as an example, I've found i7 Precisions with 1920x1200 LED Panel's, 8Gb of RAM and SSD for under £500.

I'm not saying there aren't good deals out there on other laptops, but it never hurts to look at the 2nd user market.
 
There is a decent spec Dell Precision M4600 in the for-sale section, £450
