I got mine from this site. Delivery was fairly quick (2 weeks including build time). and you can sort by price range/specs.

Sony's make great laptops and this has an X-Black Screen and they are mint.

simlar spec but a tad cheaper

if you're looking for a laptop; I can recommend the HP DV9820ea. I bought one 9 month ago for £579 and it's handled everything that I have thrown at it so far! I do a lot of design work; Photoshop, Dreamweaver and two browsers Internet Explorer and Firefox 3 running at the same time. Also plays games like Half-Life2, Counter-strike flawlessly.

its an alright laptop but i think they have gone end of life now

as in no longer sold.

also its got a AMD X2 in it, the Intel Core 2's are much better chips.

I'm sure that there is updated model; I saw one for $899 in Sams Club today that is basically an upgraded version with a core duo processor, 4GB ram and a 500GB HDD, I'm sure that'll be available in the UK for around £7/800. I wish that I waited now, but you can never guess what is around the corner in technology!

Upgrading my Mac mini to a 15" MacBook Pro in the new year.

The Intel Core 2 range also add an extra £50 in most cases. The performance difference between a Core 2 Duo and a Turion X2 is not worth that £50 in my opinion.

It's the same thing when it comes to Core i7 vs Phenom II. Yes, the i7 is the superior processor, but the cheapest Core i7 (the 920) is £210. The cheapest Phenom II X4 (because it's only fair to consider like-for like - the cheapest Phenom II you can get is the X2 550 at £80) is £155 (for the record, the high-end Phenom II X4 955, the best in the range, is only £2.50 more than the basic Core i7!). The £55 does not bring a significant enough performance advantage to be worth it. And my comparison is generous, since Core i7 requires you to upgrade everything in your machine (thank you, LGA1366) rather than just your CPU. AMD have always excelled in bringing performance at great value and the new AM3 architecture is certainly that - it's backwards compatible with socket AM2 and DDR2 memory, but you can run it in the new AM3 platform with DDR3 memory if you want that extra performance. It also allows you to upgrade incrementally, rather than buying a completely new system all at once.

Intel's upcoming Core i5 is another example of how ridiculous they make it for people to upgrade. You'd have thought that, with this being intended as a cheaper option than Core i7, they'd either use socket LGA775 or at least use the new socket LGA1366. Alas, no, they have yet another socket-type. Money-grabbing swines >.<

Apologies for getting slightly off-topic, but I haven't had a tech-rant for a while.

I wouldn't happily buy a computer without Intel Inside an more. Their chips are a cut above for me right now.

I'd rather have better performance-per-pound, to be honest

That's the area that AMD have always had right, even when they were on top. Their processors cost the same as Intel's equivalents back then, but were far better.

i have a brought a toshiba http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/produc ... A-A350-12J


its sexy and i think im in love

[myownalias]

Looks like a decent buy for the money and Toshiba laptops have a good reputation. The only downside I would say is the lack of dedicated graphics with an integrated Intel graphics chip. I have had bad experiences with gaming on integrated graphics but it may be better in modern laptops, it's been a while since I last used Intel graphics chips.

I hope that your choice gives you everything you wanted
