Nice spec though the battery life looks a bit limiting.
I've just bought a Dell 11z (dual Pentium, 2GB memory and Win7), it's great little laptop, just slightly bigger than a Netbook with a 11.6" wide screen and 1366x768 res.
I would say yes to that. If you got the funds to do it think carefully. The price is about right for this type of laptop unlike mine link

Yes I looked at that one a great games machine but I never play games, I just want something a bit faster for raw files, and more space.

More like a 'double' laptop with that sized screen

Greytop I never use it on the battery, mains only, except when we get power cuts which is quite often in Spain.

For a machine that cost £3,500 3 years ago (I paid £1,000 2 years ago) it is a very poor show.
It's nice now to have a far more powerful machine thats half the weight, half as thick, battery that lasts for 5+ hours instead of 45 mins, solidly built aluminium body instead of a creaky lump of plastic, is completely silent instead of sounding like a generator running in the background, doesn't shut down when you put it on your lap (no, really, there are fans on the bottom, really not a good design point), doesn't need shutting down etc. etc.
But then, you knew I was gonna say something like that!
Seriously though it's nice to see that it has a decent resolution on the LCD, far too many 17"+ laptops have stupidly low resolutions, price looks good and I'm sure it will be fine. One thing I would ask though is if it comes with a 64bit version of Windows or not, if it doesn't, it's a bit pointless having 4GB RAM in there as you won't be able to use it all.
That's almost an identical spec to Sue's new Toshiba at the same price. Works just fine.
Hi John, could you please give me the model no. of the Toshiba just to compare the specs,
Thanks
Jack.
edit, I think I prefer the extra 2.4" screen, size does matter
They have a good alloy frame and can be dropped without damage - mine has suffered a few times but looks as good as new.

only on the odd occassion will i play games but because i have literally 10-20 programs running at the same time this fits my lifestyle pretty well, the one you looked is a good enough laptop to cope with your demands. And also having windows 7 installed will be even better for you......
