My laptop is becoming very full and after a few viruses and tweaks etc. I think its time to get a new one. So can any of you techies give me some advice on what to go for.

Current Laptop is a Dell Inspiron 7500, Pentium 3 x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 1, 451MHz, 6GB Hard Disk (with only 630MB free), 384MB RAM.

Also how much do you think I could get for my old machine ?
