    It's not about needing a top-spec computer, it's about getting good value for money. Celeron processors are notorious for being a low-end, undesirable component and the cpu is one item that should never be under-valued.

    Looking at the specs, the other components are great for a laptop of that size, e.g. 4 GB ram, 250 GB hard drive, 6 cell battery etc, but the cpu is where it is let down.

    Ah, you'd be better off going with that €430 Dell Inspiron. Free shipping and the OS can be upgraded to Win7 for free when it's released.

    That SiS M672 integrated graphics is pure useless also.
