They have got some cracking deals on at PC World. Don't ever go to Comet or Staples for a laptop as they are ripoff expensive, i can't say anything about Tesco though. I go shopping there and buy their wonderfull 99RON but i've never bought gadgets from there so i cannot comment although they have a very nice 50" plasma screen i have my eye on!! :D

This is a well specced machine for the money. Has a dual core 2GHz processor (4GHz total speed), 2Gb RAM 667MHz Memory (means it's reasonably fast memory for a laptop and there's plenty of it), 200Gb Hard drive (loadsa space) and it will have decent on-board graphics and sound capability.

That is a nice machine mate. I know you do everything big, but i want something portable/compact so think i need to stick to 15.4" really.
This Acer seems to have a really good spec for the money.
2GB/160GB, Duo Processor etc.

Big jump from the Asus 512GB/2GB 7" that i was going to try to use at the shop lol.
What do you think?
Or as you are on a backhander from PC World, what about this one.
