Hi all, I'm in the probably in the market for a new laptop soon. However, I've not kept up with hardware so much the last few years or with good suppliers seeing as my mum bought this one for me to go to uni with and is therefore from PC World (shock horror!) So recommendation on suppliers, I'm in the UK, spec to look out for etc etc would be very much appreciated. So here's me:

I multi-task a lot
Download a lot
Play music, films, tv etc
Don't care about "names" so any little known but awesome companies welcome
I'd want windows 7 and office as I'm going to take a few courses to help me get a job (unemployed graduate!) and I'll probs do it on the OU
I think I'm going to give up gaming on the computer, it makes them very expensive and I have a wii and PS3 so doesn't need to be massively over powered but I want speed and it to last at least a few years!
Don't care about massive memory, 320GB is fine, as I have a nice external harddrive I store most things on.
Built in SD reader, bluetooth and webcam would be nice
Oh and cheap! :p Under £700 for sure but cheaper would be nice although I know I'm asking a lot

I've heard good things about the new "i" processors, any good?

Thank yee muchly for any help, have a Devon Cream Tea :D
