Another Laptop Advice requested

[Millay]

Hi All.

I have the misfortune to part company with my IBM T42 laptop so I have about £900 to spend on a new laptop, what I am really looking for is something that has big screen with HIGH resolution a 1.8 centrino and preferable 80 + gb hard drive, dont mind make to much although i do have a pathalogical aversion to Dell laptops..

Any recomendations?

For the whole centrino range

Sony have some great models out, and in PCworld yesterday I saw some lovely models with 17inch tft's and a lovely specification.

If your in range the Oldham branch have nearly all new stock.

Bought a sony for my mum at christmas.

Cracking piece of kit.

Feels a lot more solid than my packard bell (although i cant complain i got it for nothing)

Noticed though and have heard Pcworld are planning on selling more gaming systems, and not those x300se pc's either.

They had a Sony Vaio laptop for £1799 in a few days back with a inbuilt subwoofer ( sounded awesome ) 17inch beauty of a display very high resoultion on Half Life 2 with the eye candy to die for.

They also had a Advent desktop which looked nice as well but thats not what your after :P

Well after all your help (thanks peeps) I am keeping the T42 although that makes me happy, as it is a crackin peice of kit, IBM have ripped my mother off completly, She got it on HCI, and they just took £1600 off of her holiday pay to pay for it although she had insurance, but as she took voluntery redundancy it does not count! grrr.... I feel guilty now as I dont have £1600 will have to pay her over time.
