Any particular requirements?

Very portable? Small desktop replacement? Big screen? etc...

What's it going to be used for?

laptops are usually wank for gaming.

Yeah, need any advice. just ask.

Think i priced up a XP2500 machine for under £700, everything but a monitor! so with £1500 could easily build a f00king monster pc
