    It's not bad, we've had a Travelmate 3500 for three years now. The description's a little misleading. The Radeon X1250 graphics allows up to 128MB of the main system memory to be used for graphics, there's only 256MB of dedicated graphics RAM.

    Dell have been doing a similar Vostro machine recently:
    1.9GHz X2 Processor, 2GB RAM, 120GB hard drive, etc for £305 all-in. The graphics are a small step-down to the X1150 and there's no mention of TV out or webcam, but not everyone wants those.
