How's the spec seem? It's £499.99 from John Lewis and I'd use Quido plus any discount codes available. It's mainly going to be used for surfing and wordprocessing and watching dvds. No serious hardcore gaming!

I can do better for that price:

That includes Vista Home Premium, bigger hard drive and a slightly better processor

I think it's just two years on the laptop though that's still better than a lot of places.
