try http://www.rockdirect.com/

They've some nice stuff there, not sure if you'll get something for €1000 or under but it's worth a look. A friend of mine bought one of their machines a few years ago and apparently theyre very reliable.

The battery lifes ****, but if you're not worried about that that's a pretty good deal. You won't get a better gaming laptop (on paper anyway) for that money, you might get a better looking one though. Don't forget to buy an optical mouse with it, it's vital.

That AMD64 looks a great deal. I have a Sony with a fx5600 and a 16" screen. I wanted it as desktop replacement and for that its fine, as it only has a 1 hour battery life, or two with a 2nd battery. The Radeon and the AMD should make that Laptop a lot quicker. It doesn't say what the res on the screen is. But 1024x768 would give a lot more fps than a screen with higher res. Mine is 1280x1024 and while it great for work, some of the latest games req me to drop the detail a bit.

im also looking to replace my desktop pc with a laptop. That Acer one looks great for the price.
i was almost gonna turn to Dell before ya pointed out that model/price.
Just want to know how reliable ebuyer are, and also what are the delivery charges like?

They don't ship to ireland. I think they'll ship to the north if you have an address up there you can use.

Same Acer laptop that you are looking for, plus free case,
mouse, software AND they ship to Rep. of Ireland (£64).

Think its pretty similar to what you posted and is a shade over 1422 yoyo's. And if you can pick it up off them you save on delivery too.

the only thing really stopping me from going out and buying the acer is the fact that the gfx is only 64mb i feel this will really let me down when it comes to gaming? has any1 got any expreince of this card? I pld wc3 on my m8's powerbook with the same gfx but its hard to compare apple and pc
