Really long url so click here

I don't know whether I should get this or not....

Budget: £300-400 (preferably close to 300)

I'd like good enough specs...

e.g

2gb RAM
High processor speed
at least 2mb cache
don't really care about the hard drive cause I have an external one.

I suppose this one looks ok:

EDIT: By the way, yes, yes I am cheap.

Lol both those lappys are better than my desktop.

Do you care about size and battery life more than processing power?

Thanks for the info guys :P

If anyone can find any good deals please feel free too post them here. In fact please do.

EDIT: @ Zinga, I'd prefer processing power really.

run xp on it or vista vis bootcamp

my 120gb hd has a 20gb partition of leaopard and a 100gb partition of xp and it boot xp by default

technically if i bothered i could make it a pure xp partition

I'd really like a good graphics card though :/ are they replaceable?

Also where did your dad get it?

EDIT: I have to admit the macs always have it right when it comes to style.

if you can extend your budget indefinitely (like 2k), then a XPS M1730 will entice you a lot..
