As an all rounder and for value?

Okish. Has a fair amount of grunt, a sufficiency of RAM and HDD space. The requisite DVD-Burner and such.

Only downside is that the graphics chipset steals 128Mb RAM from the system pool. So it won't be much good for anything graphics intensive but fine for tootling around in office and the like.

Not the best, but has all the numbers. Incidentally my old Fujitsu fell to bits alarmingly rapidly, including the screen hinges seizing then inevitibly getting ripped out of the flimsy plastic casing.

Corin - have a look at Dell's offerings, and also Acer's laptops - which of late have been pretty impressive.
