Did you go for the better screen?

I really can't stress enough how worth it this screen is.

Look at all the space:

Cheaper??? Looks more like £99 more expensive than the Thinkpad R50e

The Dell is a better spec'd machine though and worth the extra money if you need the extra performance.

the Sony one is okay but the Celeron would concern me, a Centrino is much better

Thanks, coulf you expand on this for a laptop novice pls?

The Centrino is superior in theory, but in actual use is not going to provide any noticeable advantage over the Celeron M. Given the choice of a Centrino and a Celeron at the same price though, choose the Centrino.

Gutted - I wanted one of these but the deal is no longer available. I rang dell but they would not give the same price for that spec...

I need a laptop with DVD RW and wireless internet... any recommendations?
