Iv a 11 year old dell ( static) which i might replace with laptop ,only thing puts me off is the possiblity that the sound could be worse - the old dell has non integrated soundcard 2 small speakers and boom box thing harmon/kardon

The sound on most laptops I've encountered is poor to be fair, but they do usually have an output for connecting external speakers

SPDIF outputs on laptops are becoming increasingly common, so if you can find one of those within budget it'll probably be your best bet for distortion and noise-free sound, assuming your amp has an SPDIF input, obviously.
