Hi Dion, I personally don't like Toshiba laptops. They tend to use non-standard drivers, the sound is pretty poor lately, and other reasons. But I do like the look of this HP and may well get it.

Hi all Saw a Toshiba at PC World the other day. Comes with an extra battery, Intel dual core 1.46GHz processor, 2GB RAM, 1 MB cache and 120 GHZ hard drive. Other specs also looks good. If you go on www.pcworld.co.uk do a search for Toshiba £399 and it should come up. £100 reduction I think.
