Looking for laptop

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a laptop in the next couple of weeks, I've got about £700
to spend, maybe a little more. I'd rather not go for a celeron but still
want a decent speed/spec machine. Best I've found so far seem to be either
PCW or Dabs. However due to reading various things about these supliers in
the past I'm a little reluctant and feel there are possibly better deals out
there.

So...anyone have any pointers or recommendations? All help greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

Dave

Have you considered Dell ? (www.dell.co.uk)

I just bought a Dell Inspiron 1100 - customised with 15" screen, 256mb
RAM & a DVD/CD-Rewriter unit for just under £650.

I'm well impressed with it, it's a very nice looking machine, and
appears to have a decent battery life for a change (3 hrs)

Only annoying thing with Dell though, is every time I called them to
chase the order up, query delivery date etc ... I ended up in an
Indian Call Centre ! Mind you - the staff knew their stuff, and were
very helpful !

when buying laptops prefer to stick with brand names (Toshiba, Compaq, IBM)..
may cost a bit more but in the end worth it when it comes to warranty and
maintenace..

In my experience Toshiba have one of the best maintance..

You need to dig a bit but there are some real bargains in there.

Not had any trouble at all with Dabs, and I've spent thousands there (on
company's behalf or my own).
