I was in a hurry, so didn't note the model number, but I had a brief glimpse of a Toshiba in PC World, Northampton at the weekend, where the keyboard included a number pad. As I recall price was around £500 - £600.

I have only used toshiba laptops, most of them start at 2 gb ram which is pretty good. I don't know the other makes, toshiba prices are reasonable too.

They have non-standard drivers. That's just my opinion. A good source for laptop stuff though is http://www.laptopshop.co.uk.

I am interested in the toshiba equium 210, does any body use this laptop? What is it like? I am also seriously looking at the toshiba satellite 300d, this has 2 gb ram and if I order it I will upgrade to 3 gb of ram, is 2 gb sufficient to run vista and hal and all my other programs? Would I be better with the 3 gb? Lastly, being in France, not many companies over here will supply me with a laptop with english keyboard or windows. Therefore I have to purchase from the UK. I know of play.com, laptops direct and pcworld, would you guys be able to recommend some other companies to me please.
