Depending on how portable you want the thing to be I'd recommend either the Dell Inspiron 6000 (15") or 9300 (17").  The spec doesn't have to be massive for online poker but programs such as Poker Tracker will increase the demands on the machine if you use it.

Whichever you go for, opt for the WUXGA screen, which has a 1920x1200 resolution.  This'll let you play 4 tables without overlap if you want to.  There are very few laptops on the market with screen resolutions this high, which is why the Dells stand out for me.

I got a 9300 recently from the Dell Outlet store and saved £350 on the new price (you still get full warranties).  The site updates every few minutes so just keep an eye out for one with a spec that suits you and then buy it quick!

TXS....a junior fish like me has a hard enough time playing one or 2 so 4 would be donation time. the dell looks good but i also had a look at red dog recommendation at the acer  4500 and that looks value at about 470 notes.

Just purchased this little beauty myself last week mate, great wee thing!

Screen, as you say, is the major factor in my decision, i got a deal through my work tho, (tax free etc etc)

Buying PC Shopper would be a worthwhile investment.

You could always buy a laptop woth a smaller screen and then buy another screen and plug the laptop into that.

If portability isn't an issue but space is you could always buy a very small desktop PC. You'll get a lot more PC for your money (in general).
