I have to say from a personal perspective I'm so glad I got my 12" iBook. I know I don't get the same resolution as other people but the portability for me was the big thing, I needed it to be light etc.

Same, mine can just be thrown in my bag and off i go. Battery is excellent too, with enough power saving (pretty unusable dim backlight unless in the dead of night). I've managed to squeeze 4-5 hours out of it too!

This is just for use in front of the telly and if Aitch needs to do some work on the train, the Dell P4M we have at the moment is heavy, hot and slow and it would be nice to have something a bit easier to hide away in the livingroom. Not great reasons for an upgrade but what the hell

Davey: http://configure.euro.dell.com/dells...=N0715003&fb=1 Take the warranty down and it's £622, not sure if that;'s over your budget but looks a pretty nice system imo.

Although just had a quick look and the original Dell Laptop you posted about a couple of pages ago, you could get with 2gig ram today too.

If you're going to use it off mains lots then the £11.75 for the bigger battery is probably worth it. Otherwise a very nice system for the price.

Me likey. Me likey a lot. Me also likes the £60 off I can get, as well as the £18 cashback too. Me needs to find wallet methinks.

/me wonders why me's talking like an idiot.

Slower CPU than the Dell, but better graphics (though it still doesn't state the resolution), and cheaper too. For what you need, that looks like a good bet.

That's an uber laptop. Kiss goodbye to your battery life and arguably some portability (17" is mah00sive), but that's a lot of power for the price. A lot. And Vista Ultimate to boot.

WXGA+ in the spec, so 1440×900

Looks nice to me

As long as it doesn't make you keep saying me all the time when you're typing on it
