It depends on your personal preference and what you'll be using it for.

I'm getting one (for work) and it's right on that price:

The Dell Vostros are more aimed at business customers. Dell make some good stuff, but I'd go for Inspiron, Studio or XPS if they'll be streaming porn playing games. The 17" Studio laptops have a pretty good spec. This page (http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/laptop_studio_17?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=mn), 3rd one along looks pretty useful. Decent video card in that one.

If it helps, I got emailed an offer code from Dell for 10% off any Vostro or XPS laptop over 499 ex vat. QHM3VV8CZTDCBD in the checkout screen. Although I've no idea if that is a personalised code or a general one. And it doesn't seem to include the Studio ones. YMMV, etc etc.
