    In the market for a new laptop. I'd like something quite portable as its I'll be lugging it around the place quite a bit. Battery life important so I'd like a Pentium M chip (anything 1.5 & upwards will do fine). 512mb ram necessary, while wifi and a widescreen display would also be nice. What would anyone recommend for about the €1700 mark? and where do you recommend to shop?

    Thanks

    I just bought a new lappy from Harvey Norman for 1800 (with 18 months interest free). Its a Toshiba M30 link
    Its not a powerhouse laptop but I want portability over sheer power. General spec:
    P-M 1.6
    512mb
    60gb hd
    wifi,smart card reader,ethernet,etc
    15.4 wide screen
    lovely keyboard - although took a little while to get use to it
    about a 3 hour batter - but havent really check that much
    [edit] dvd rw [/edit]

    If your willing to buy online - some of the acer notebooks give good bang for the buck and are supposed to be good quality.
