Hello I am trying to find my mum a laptop. She wants a custom built one from a site like pc specialist. I have a budget of about £700 to about £850. She uses it mainly for light gaming like second life, and the odd word document and she does also listen to alot of music so that sounding good will help. Thank you for any input

"laptop" and "sounding good" are not compatible with each other. 

 

some sound less shit than others but small laptop speakers can only do so much.
