    old school thinkpads are immortal, that said i couldnt live without a touchpad.

    fom the choices you are either after a very solidly built laptop of just have good taste, if its the former then check out toshiba, they are rock solid as well.

    Before you buy - check out Dell Vostro 1500
    there's a good list here: http://www.dmxdimension.com/dell-uk/vostro-deal-comparison/

    There are other suppliers - my experience with Dell is good.

    Ask here for other recommends!
