£320? That's not a bad price. If it suits your pattern of usage.

Please could somebody recommend something suitable for very heavy use (12+ hours most days) involving lots of multitasking (at least 4 or 5 programs at once, at least one of which will be a browser with multiple tabs) and plenty of applications using flash...including games, sometimes a couple open at once. Will also be used for video and photo editing, and some gaming (not the latest titles). Screen bigger than 15".

I need it soonish but I'm prepared to wait a couple of weeks if there's a chance of something coming available again...there doesn't seem to be much in the way of bargains about atm. I'm wary of Toshiba Satellites, unless they've changed in the last 2 or 3 years - I borrowed one briefly (can't remember what model) and I found the screen very difficult to look at for any period of time (possibly too bright - I'm very light sensitive and even turning the brightness right down it was still very bright)
