I need it for work and for me to watch videos, listen to music and save my pictures. If possible, I also want to use it in playing games.

first, select operating system - win xp media centre 2005
dell is best site 4 configuring
my best size would be 14.1" screen, just right
and if it's widescreen, even better
any bigger & it becomes un-portable !
checkout the inspirion e1405

now configure it

at $ 1000 , u should get a decent system
basic and low-end games ok ., no highend gaming
Intel® Core™ Proc Duo T2400 (1.83GHz/667MHz/2 X 1MB L2 Cache)
Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005

80 GB Sata Hard Drive
8X CD/DVD Burner (DVD+/-RW) with double-layer DVD+R

Processor - AMD Turion X2 TL-50 or Intel Core Duo T2300
HDD - 100GB 5400RPM
RAM - 1GB DDR2
Graphics - Card, at least ATI X1300 or better(so you can play games, try to stay away from "integrated graphics" or chipsets ie ATI Radeon Xpress 200 or 1100, not as good as a true video card)
Screen - up to you if you want widescreen and true brite and all that crap
Wireless- doesn't really matter, pretty much all the same
DVD/CD - 8x write dual or double layer
Alienware is a bit overpriced, Dells are good and cheaper, look for Acer at www.newegg.com. HP's aren't bad either

these days laptop comes similar to desktop configuration or even more powerful than desktop. So you need not worry about it capability and performance. Spending £800 or more can get better laptops.

No clue, but a good laptop would have the same power as a desktop PC

you can get a great laptop now for under 1000 easily. they all come with decent vid cards now too(not for the hardcore gamer). check out best buy and circuit city. they have good deals every now and then.
