HP Compaq nx6125 under £330

Posted this on 'great laptop hunt' but thought any feedback may be of use to others as well as me. I did post a thread on the subject about 6 weeks ago and I've now got to pull my finger out & buy one and I can't get hold of an Acer from Tesco or Comet coz they're always sold out !
Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
Is this one any good for £327...?

    I found this on redcracker.com which, I believe, is the on-line store for pcworld business.

    I would say that spec is a good buy for the price and it does get good reviews. Built for the corporate market, well built with good battery life.

    Lots of machines like this will be getting dumped as Core Due and Duo 2 based laptops become standard. Cheap enough, but definitely old-hat.
