there are companies like Overclockers.co.uk who I know can build windows 7
laptops.
I'm not sure what they are like but I've been fairly happy with their PCs in
the past as I know a few people who have had them.

Hello Graham,
I have been advised to upgrade my well loved Toshi laptop!...
I am using XP Pro, and Jaws 14.
At one time, PC world were selling reconditioned Windows 7 machines on their
website.
I am going to try and find a local private company that might build a
Windows 7 machine for me.
Good luck Amie!...
Regards,
Shirley
