Hey Guys,

I was in a similar position a few months ago and I decided to go with Dell... Never looked back. I have an inspiron 1501, 1gb ram, 64bit amd processor.... lotsa really nice stuff.

I looked online for the same spec and got prices of around £700+ and this lil buaety cost me just £430 (including a bag and lots of extras). Just remember its better to call dell as they are all on commision based. call up and start low they will edge you up to your target and drag in a whole load of extras just for the sale. And dont let them beat you down with "UBER GEEK" chatter.... its just them trying to convince you to go there way. Find out what you want and how much you want to spend and stick to it.

As for the comment earlier on "clone" machines... thats just odd.... for one Acer are europes top laptops... which says alot for europe as they suck.

I used to work for acer in technical support and was just plain shocked at the customer service people around me where given, the management just stinks! Dell and acer use the same parts and are basically the same. The only main difference is Dells support is F-ing incredible. Sure they have their laptops get faults all laptops do but i've never come across a company that values its cusomers so much.

I use my lil lappy for poker, downloading, surfing the net, database building and word processing and it runs beautifully. So you should find a top machine for what you need no problem!

Oh and the only issue you will get with XP is MS are stopping all OEM support in the near future (although I was informed they were going to stop at the US launch of vista).

Hope this helps!
