Do you want a desktop replacement or something to work with when you travel ? Do you want to play a game every now and then or only work with it ? Maybe watch movies as well ? You should write down what you want and what you do not need first and then ask again :P Well the first question that comes to my mind is why do you want to buy a laptop ?

To be honest I don't need it to come with an OS, as I'll be able to use my old XP MCE disc (I think) once I upgrade my desktop to Vista. I've heard good things abotu Acer's elsewhere. I'm really trying to avoid buying a dell or compaq/HP as I've always had one of these. What do you guys think of <a href="http://www.think4.com/notebooks_laptops/lenovo_3000_n100_0768_core_duo_t2300e_1_66_ghz.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">this machine</a> with an extra 512MB of ram?

I've had a couple of Acer laptops and they feel very worthy of their price, as well as have proved to match the current competition well enough. 1 GB RAM if you want to run Vista, you should have it for XP too but if you're low on cash and don't care about Vista then 512 will work.
