To toss another option into the mix. Heavier, but bigger screen, etc.

If you want thin and light and/or travel a lot, yes. I suspect you probably don't, so no.

Absolutely not. You'd be paying more for an inferior machine and secondhand to boot.

In your position, I'd definitely go for the Sammy.

I'm not fussed about the screen, long story short, i've given up with lugging PC back and forth to uni, and i'm jealous i can't use my computer on the train back and fourth .

Plan is, to go laptop full time, and plug a monitor, keyboard and mouse into the laptop and use it like a PC in my room. But for on the move and in the library, i can just unplug and go. So i'm after small and light for my moving, but fairly powerful as a desktop replacement, nothing heavy though. I've given up gaming for now it just doesn't fit in...

Can anyone think of anything better than the sammy?

Actually thats a point, i can get a docking station for the VIAO do samsung do anything similar?

Theres far too much to this!

Looking at the Dell Latitude D420, but it seems a little more expensive than the sammy again, but i can get a dock with dvi ports (for my monitor) and some more USB ports, which would make using the laptop how i want easier...

EuroPC are selling it for about £800 with pretty low specs but it doesn't mention anything about docking stations which are apparently meant to be included...? Any ideas? For £800 with a dock i'd take it!

Don't know enough about the D420 to comment on that.
