Looking to get a new laptop in the next few weeks problem is not sure what to go for 
Got around £800max to spend on a good spec laptop
Been looking at dell but though i would see if there is anything else good about 
Needs to be wireless for the net and have a big hard drive.

i have the other series series 1, 2 and 6 inspiron series and a latitude...never failed me...
specs will determine how fast...but with a Centrino Duo, you can't go wrong
looking to get a 9400 or XPS soon....ask MIST XE about the XPS...he bought one recently
aj mair just bought a 9400 last week...get his feedback

lol, just because his laptop runs slow doesnt mean your will.. he probably hasnt cleaned it out for months and has just loads of shite on there..
dell i have found to be good and fast.. i have a toshiba atm, and its old and still quick.. it wont play new games but it does play red alert 2 on max settings very nicley.. it doesnt have wireless built in which u want really..
my mate does have a toshiba laptop, the upgrade from mine and his is very nice..

Yeah needs to be a laptop simon sick of been stuck in the same room on a hard chair
His laptop is dell and its about 7months old he doesnt have much stuff on there as i have ask'd him why its slow and he said was slow from day one.
I still want to get a dell but more and more people say not worth the money and are pants
Like the look of the sony so thats why i have went for a sony aswell.
laptop will be getting used for when i go away and for music/pictures/internet/msn thats about it as i will still have the pc along with the laptop.

I have never had ANY problems with any dell system I have owned even after making upgrades.
had 2 optiplex, 3 dimensions, 3 inspirons. And never got any faults.
My experience
