Thanks for the recommendation. So far, I've found the branded laptops 
rather difficult to source with slightly unusual specs - I have and 
listen to more music than is really credible, hammer memory and need XP 
Pro for work. If possible, I want a wide TFT and a numeric keypad...

If I go to the direct suppliers (Dell included here), I can sort the 
memory, drive and OS without problems. If not, I haven't yet found a way 
  that seems to work. Pity, as I found some nice looking Fujitsu 
machines but I just can't get the spec I need.

Sorry to hear that. We've got a bunch of dell desktops and servers and 
have had no troubles at all, and 3 of their laptops. The oldest laptop 
caused some problems a few years ago but the 2 new ones are great. Why 
don't you like them?
