My windows laptop is finally starting to give up the ghost. In need to replace it. I can't afford a Mac as it's not just buying the Mac - it's the software too. Any recommendations for a laptop please?

Thank you
 
I could probably stretch to between 600 and 800 pounds
 
Just bought myself an Asus X550C from John Lewis. 1.8GHz i5 Intel Core, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD. Win8, touchscreen, 2x USB2, 1x USB3, HDMI, DVD multi recorder. Well within the stated budget, in fact, under it.
 
It's for processing. I don't have an external monitor so has to be a nice big(ish) screen. It's just the laptop I need. I have everything else
 
The main thing is to make sure it has an IPS screen rather than a TN screen, but these are normally just the high end models well above your budget.

Good kit for being able to edit "on the move" is not cheap, so the best bet is normally separate screen & pc for home use and a separate laptop for use when away from home.
 
Edit: Ignore me. Didn't read the "laptop" part.
