Am thinking of buying a new computer - advice as to what I should be looking for in terms of memory, make, model etc (i'm after another laptop) would be good - but my key concern is disposing of my current computer. I've done a lot of online banking, sharedealing, etc - will my personal details be stored on the hard drive/anywhere (I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to this stuff). Should I be concerned about identity theft? How can I guard against this? ie- how do I get rid of it without someone else getting hold of it and being able to access my banking details, etc?

Any advice welcome.

Thanks.
