Be fairly easy to carry around.
Have 80-100gig hard drive.
Runs Photoshop,Imageready, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Quicktime VR Authoring Studio and the like with ease.
15'' monitor.
I don't want to buy from abroad but would consider the UK.
My Budget's up to around €1200.
Wireless (although that's standard now isn't it?)
128 graphics card (I just want to be able to run Age of Empires,Sims2 etc not graphics intensive stuff)

Cheers.

I have a Acer Aspire 5024WLMi and its a great laptop. You will want to get something about 1.6 - 1.8 Ghz, 1GB of ram, most of the above laptops have an Ati x700 128MB graphics card so they should also play AOE2 fine.
