Im going to buy a laptop but just wanted to see what people think.
I want to spend around £700 and i use creative suite 2 (although not
all the time - mainly for fun). Whats your thoughts on the best
available? Models i have seen are Core 2 Duo at 1.6Ghz with 100Gb HD
and 1Gb RAM running either XP Home or Pro and usually a Intel Graphics
card (although im not sure if this is on the motherboard or not.

There's a good deal going on with comet at the mo, They have an Acer
Aspire 5634 WLMi for about £680 online (In store is £700)
http://www.comet.co.uk/cometbrowse/p....do?sku=363294

# Processor speed: 1.83 GHz
# Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo
# Screen size: 15.4 inches
# Storage (hard drive): 120 GB
# Memory (RAM): 2048 MB
# Dynamic graphics: 256MB GF7300GO

It's good value for money (at least, that's what I think since I own
one of these)
It's also worthy to note that it's Vista Premium Ready, and entitles
you to a free-for-the-most-part upgrade (the only charge is P&P), just
don't try to stick a PSP or Memory Stick card into the memory reader
slot without an adapter (Trust me I tried)
Hope this helps =]

i just bought a HP pavilion 6000
very nice machine

Intel duo 2 is a good/minimum chip
at least 1mb ram [i like 2mb]

video card is not essential,
except for gamers and photo editing type stuff
[do some research on video cards, and your needs]

think a little longer-term investment
you want to have reasonable machine in 2-3 yrs out
you'll be happier, instead of saving a few pounds
