    Hi I play poker on line and am looking to get a lap top, I have a PC with Windows XP can I use the software on that for my lap top, i was told I couldn't as it would last only 30 days, but I have windows 2000 so can I use that?

    Price range: €400- €600
    Intended use: Playing Poker on-line, some gaming nothing fancy, surfing the web.

    Looking at the third one along if I can use my existing XP package or windows 2000 with it.


    Tv-out: What does this do? Also would like the DVD rewriter.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    You can't use the windows xp from your existing computer but you can configure the laptop with it by the looks of it.

    Sorry could you explain further not very tech minded, would it be because I would be getting the Xp basic package?

    On the laptop you linked to (the third one along) there are two buttons. One to set the laptop up with vista and another to set the laptop up with xp.
