    Guys,

    Im looking for a good solid reliable laptop, doesnt have to be ultra slim or have a 17 inch screen, however what I'm basically looking for are the following specs or better:

    Processor: Pentium M 2.0+
    Memory: 1GB+
    Screen: 14 or 15 inch
    Hard Drive: 80GB+ (5400 or 7200)
    Screen 1280 x 768 minimum
    128MB Graphics (Not shared)
    Warranty: 3 year on site

    Would be nice to get one with around a 3 hr battery life and if I could get one with a serial port, that would be an added bonus. Something that doesnt weight a ton would be nice too :D

    Now, here is the catch, I'm looking all of this with a price tag of around €1100ex VAT.. not sure if this is possible, but who knows.

    I have a HP NC6000 at the moment at its a lovely system but I've promised it to my sister for college and I fancy a change.

    Preferred choices would be a HP, Dell or IBM (Highly unlikely or this price)

    Tox IIRC you do some consulting work? Why not setup an account with sharptext. They stock IBM laptops. Might be worth looking into.

    yeah I was looking into that alright.. hence the reason I'm looking ex VAT.

    A mate of mine was the warehouse supervisor with them a while back and he was saying that they dont really give much in the way of discounts for having an account with them unless I've a fairly large turnover of stock.

    I found one and it looks a fairly decent spec

    HP NX7400
    2.0GHz Duo
    1GB RAM
    120GB Hard Drive
    DVDRW Dual Layer
    15.4 inch Screen 1280 x 800 (WXGA)
    128MB Graphic Controller

    All for the nice little sum of €1100. however its another €280 for the 3 years warranty.. so seriously thinking about it..
