Looking for a lappy for about a grand ex VAT.

Essentials include built in modem, 10/100 ethernet, decent sized display, 256MB RAM, fast processor, good battery life, lightweight.
Optionals include combo drive, 30GB+ HD, wireless LAN, very fast processor.
Not fussed about OS or software.

Fave so far is a Compaq Evo* N800v (has DVD not combo as standard)
for £999.
*Wonder if they do a Tommi Mak edition :D?

Any other suggestions?

Be carefull of compaqs running AMD chips,they can run really hot and its a known problem with compaq laptops.

Dell has some good deals and pc world is doing a nice Toshiba for a grand.

PC Pro like the Tosh Sat. Pro 2100

1.5Ghz Celeron, 20GB, DVD, 14" TFT etc etc. £849ish + VAT so shades under a grand.

I have just bought a Toshiba Sat 2410 504 from PC World today. It was reduced from £1400 to £999. It has everything you want apart from the hard drive at 20Gig. It is very good, well recommended.

Craig.:D

Cheers guys, I'll check the Toshs out

You could try one of these Fujitsu Siemens Lifebooks, from the website or talk to WillieF about them.

I have used one for 18 months and have had no problems (that arent MS related ;) )
