ok slightly changed my mind, i think im gunna go for one with a 15" screen now... and plug iit into my lcd tv when i wanna watch a film... so really im looking at lower price ones, as ram can ushally be upgraded to 4 gb, hd size is irrelevant as i have a external harddrive, and i dont use much space anyway. The only game im likely to play on it will be counterstrike 1.6 which i used to play when i cacme out on a 300mgz desktop computer and 16mb gfx card, so im sure any laptop will cope with it now. Ill be useing it for normal stuff really, just browsing the forums uploading pictures, watching videos youtube, itunes/amazon etc, msn :| really when i htink baout it i dont need anything majorly quick, my current desktop has only 1gb of good ram, but a ati 1950x pro 256mb gfx card, and a amd 64bit 2,6ghz proccesor, would Visit My Website this if i upgraded the ram to 4gb match the speed of my curent desktop, (not talking about games) just normal stuff.... cheers which is better .... 1 2 i would proberly upgrade the ram to 4 gb on both..
