    someone might well know of a better deal, but i was quite pleased with this one...

    http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Toshiba_Satellite_Pro_L100_PSLA4E-007006EN/version.asp#top

    I run a comedy club and needed a laptop to connect to the projector and also to do some of the things you mentioned there. Laptops Direct seemed OK and deleivered as promised and seemed a nice easy transaction. I have no return issues, so have not dealt with any of their aftersales, but thought i would let you know that i was quite pleased with this model.

    I paid £1100 for a vaio laptop in March and I know I'd have been better saving the money when i look at the differences between the two over the financial contrast...

    When I was looking for a laptop I used the forum on whatlaptop.co.uk
    http://www.whatlaptop.co.uk/Forums/Default.aspx

    got some good friendly advice from there about other computer issues too!

    The bottom two on this page should do all that you are looking for (except I didn't understand the transmit TV signals to a TV).

    Remember to go through Quidco.
