Dell offer an even worse after service unless ur a Coperate Customer and spend 10mill a year or summit..

Top Laptops(imo)

Tosh
Sony
HP
Acer
Fuji
IBM

But u will find that you will only get spec 4 ur money on the acers afraid Dell only offer a 90 day warr with all there goods now unless u purchase the upgrade warr.... To be honest it will be fairly hard to find one with a decent gfx card in under £900

try http://www.pcwb.com also there's some nice offers on there from time to time and might give u an idea on who I work 4 :>

Nice spec laptop....http://www.pcwb.com/servlets/Catalogue? ... shop=PCWBD

hehe as for Dell you could be right... not bought as a consumer tbh.. and my account manager there is a real diamond! But yes their corporate service is great.

As for the warranty though they have to give 12 months minimum... unless I am mistaken as that is what is set down on their website.

seems like an ok comp, if ur only out to look on movies, and for net surfing etc ;P

Actually read the first post now... and seems fine as long as you wont play any newer games on it ;D

A Pentium M is not a Centrino, Centrino is newer technology.
Looks a nice spec laptop though.
