Probably limited to around £600.00 max - depending on how our budget for new IT is looking.

Is anyone else having trouble using the "back" button on here? When I press it it often doesn't go anywhere, but stays on the same page. If I click the down-arrow next to it, the history shows that there are often 3 or more copies of the same page. I've seen this kind of issue with advert systems on sites before on other sites.

You can see that the browser is responding to the back, as there is a status flicker at the bottom of the screen, and a progress bar fills in.

Back button works fine elsewhere, and in fact often works ok on here, but when it fails on a page, it repeatedly fails on the page.

This is Firefox under Linux.

I never use the back button on here, it's got embeded navigation options as it is so I don't ever feel the need.

No problems with the back button here; I'm using Iron under Windows 7.

Firefox 5 & 6 the back button functions are "different" to behavior seen in versions 3 & 4.

Well, there goes Steve Jobs, if we ignore the whole "chairman of the board" thing.

Hell of a career.

I use Chrome for browsing but have been having some issues lately on sites such as Hotmail and iplayer.

Basically the links on Hotmail have stopped working (i.e. Inbox, Delete, Read) and on iplayer I cannot play any videos (the play button does not appaear, just a black rectangle where the video usually is).

There may be issues with other sites too but I don't tend to go online all too often so I'm not sure.

Anyone any ideas why this is, or rather how to fix it? I thought possibly a Flash Player issue? I am experiencing the same problems when on firefox too which suggests it must be a software issue?

Starting Uni next month, so need to invest in a laptop.

Football Manager 2012 (when it comes out), internet, Windows Media player, and Office programs are all I will really be using.
Want to be able to play FM at a decent speed, with a good few leagues loaded etc.

Won't have a massive budget (less than £400), can anyone recommend a decent place for laptop shopping? Never bought a laptop before, only computer I use is the family desktop.

You want lots of RAM for FM, a decent speed hard drive too, CPU isn't critical but check graphics requirements for FM12.

Tesco, PC World (yes I know) and Comet have some decent deals on Toshiba and Acer, You should be looking at a decent Core2Duo CPU, 3-4GB RAM, Windows 7 64bit and 320GB Hard drive as a basic machine, anything else is a bonus.

DO NOT buy software before you go to Uni, students get massive discounts there are always good offers around for freshers, the full office suite for £49 was one last year.

Cheers mate, that will make things a bit more clear.

I like the look of rlthis onerl for the price.

I might be wrong on this but isn't the CPU precisely what you would need to run a lot of leagues on Football Manager?

That's a reasonably decent deal and should do all you want.
