Been looking into getting a laptop or netbook and finally decided on a laptop.
This will be to replace our home pc, and I am used to running many applications t once so I think I need to get as powerful a laptop as possible. Maximum budget is £450 but would rather spend under £400.
I have come across this Acer Aspire 5536 can anyone tell me if they have it or if it is any good for what I need? I also want to be able to plug it into an lcd tv, and I think it has the ports to be able to do this - please tell me if I'm wrong

flier, if you see here and click on the "jack pack (rear)" section you'll see it's got both the 15-pin PC connector plus the PC audio input you'd need.

So you'll just need to buy a 15-pin VGA cable and a 3.5mm stereo audio cable and you should be fine! You can get these cables in a number of places both online and in the high street. Avoid PC World, Dixons etc as they'll charge you a fortune. Try a big Sainsburys, Tesco, Asda or Argos. Basic VGA cables are fine up to about 2m in length, much more than that and you'll need to look at expensive ones otherwise the image quality suffers.
