Laptop advice please :)

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to buy a laptop to use when I'm travelling around and whilst on holiday to use the internet and watch DVD's.

I've seen this one http://www.ebuyer.com/product/139124?hpb=1

Would really appreciate any comments or advice on possible alternatives.

Thanks in advance

hey man .. I have almost the same specification for my laptop Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 2540 . I have 250 GB on it and a 256MB ATi HD2400 graphic card and 15.4" widescreen.. I use it for every thing and even gaming (COD4 and Grid) .. really good performance compared to the performance u get ! (800USD = £400)

for the one u proposed I guess its good .. (it has faster RAM than mine ).. Fujitsu Siemens is good in general and pretty cheap .. service is good .. only problem I found with it is a little heat .. this happen when I play games .. but u should be great since u want watch movies and use the net ..

hope this help u ..
good luck !

You are going to have to depend on opinions from other members who are not in the US - those laptops are not sold here.

Thanks,

Any recommendations for a different laptop to do the same job? I just need it to be fairly light, have a DVD drive and wireless. Oh and be under £400.

All opinions gratefully received :-)
