Recommend a Laptop - 15-17", Windows 7 @ £400-500

[flyinghaggis]

One of my friends is looking for a new laptop for around £400-500. Portability/battery life isn't an issue as it's his main PC so a desktop replacement style model would probably be the preferred type.

Ideally needs to fall into the following criteria :-

£400-500
Windows 7
15-17" Screen

Any recommendations would be appreciated

TIA

I like the look of the new lenovo thinkpad edge 15" - though I think they're on sale early next month!
