Will do. If the performance is that much better then the Acer is looking more like a good deal. I think there was a good Inspiron deal recently on HUKD a while ago so I'll have a hunt around for that.

It doesn't tell you the screen resolution or memory speed, and the support is questionable, but otherwise a good deal. You could upgrade the Acer one yourself to a similar spec (increased memory and hard drive space) for about the price difference but fewer purchases/faffing is always a winnar.

Specs seem decent enough, though there's still no mention of memory speed.

1280x800 wouldn't be good enough for me, but to be honest I'm a bit uncompromising when it comes to my screens.

Seems quite nice. I'd get the better graphics card for gaming, and up the monitor a little to the TrueLife one, but seems good for the price (which would be £586.32 with the two upgrades.

Looks pretty nice to me
Although not sure what difference Vista Business makes.

None really. You lose media center and gain things that most people dont ever see - though you keep Aero. TrueLife wont make much of a difference Davey. Do it for the resolution if anything. From what I read the graphics card would make a big difference if you plan to game, in which case you might want the smaller resolution - it's less to drive for the chipset in the end.
It's not amazingly good value, but it is a fair price.

I keep finding laptops like this, telling myself it's a good deal and then telling myself it's not. It's because it's going to be the only laptop we buy for some time, and I want to make sure we get the best we can for the money we spend.
Grrrr, I just need to find a brilliant deal one day that makes me just want to buy it.
