Core2 DUO 2GB Ram Laptop

I would spend a bit more and get the Apple MacBook Pro...I have one and it is superb....

On a similar note - best business latop for under 600? Been set this challenge by a friend. The Levono N100 with an extra gig of ram looks good, what does the assembly think?

That model is indeed horrid and weighs a fair bit. IBM would be my choice though. I quite like the X60's

A vaio or mac book pro, you know it makes sense...

Why are rich contractors gruding spending a few bob for a decent computer anyway?

Real Geeks buy Alienware or Tadpole.

£1700 (inc VAT (assuming flat-rate) & applecare) is a hell of a lot of money for the cheapest macbook pro.

Personally I stick with Dell for the very good 3-year on-site warranty - had to use it twice in the past 6 years and both times an engineer has come out the next day, replaced broken bits and left me with a working machine and all my data. Total of about 7 hours lost work time - and that's the important part, to me.

Not had to use my warranty once on the apple in the last six years - nough said...

£1700 is a lot I guess, few days work but who is counting, it's what I paid for the vaio... 1.24kg take it anywhere allows me to reply to clients, create the off letter, perfect...

Last machine was a Dell, never again. I also have an work HP that is about 3 months old which is starting to freeze now and again - although I think that might be Outlook.

But I don't regret spending £1800 on my Mac Book Pro for one moment. I showed a Mac sceptic full screen video chat using iChat the other day and they were converted immediately
