A Laptop for my son

Options
Hi

Im wanting to buy a laptop for my son for xmas, but i have absolutely no idea what to get or what is good. If any of you could help it would be greatly appreciated.

He is wanting to play games on it and our computer at home wont play the some of the games he's got, i guess its not powerful enough. Ive pasted the games spec below so you have an idea of what the laptop needs -

Windows 98/ME/2000/XP (Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3, Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or later)
Celeron 1.2 GHz or AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz
256 MB RAM
2 GB free hard disk space
DirectX 8.1 compatible audio support
Minimum graphics card: nVidia GeForce 2 (MX 200/400 not supported) with 32 MB or ATI Radeon 8500 with 64 MB, with Microsoft DirectX 9 driver installed
Recommended graphics card: nVidia GeForce 4 Ti (not MX) with 128 MB, ATI Radeon 9500 with 128 MB, with Microsoft DirectX 9 driver installed


Obviously i want to spend as little as possible, does anybody have any idea of what I should be looking at?

Thanks

Chris
