WTD: Advice for buying a new laptop

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone had seen a good baragin on a laptop with a
spec similar to this at all? Sorry if I'm being a bit vague, just want a
general guide if at all possible- never had a laptop before, always been
more of a desktop guy!

AMD Mobile Athlon 64 2800+
512Mb RAM
80Gb HDD (V.important!)
DVD±RW / DVD-RAM Drive
At least one FireWire port and 2 USB 2.0 ports
Intigrated wi-fi card as well as an RJ-45 ethernet card
Graphics not overly important, but the bigger the better for a good price
Windows XP Home

Thanks in advance, and sorry for being a pesky little begger!

Chris

well I have an IBM T42p, 2GB RAM and Intel 2.1GHz M, but no Firewire,
but it does have Bluetooth for phone synching, and its quiet. Oh XP Pro
of course!...would never use XPHome
