    so im thinking of buying the following http://ie.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/seriesHomepage.do?service=IE&SERIES_ID=131319

    How would you guys rate it ?

    It is a Tosh..so good start. Good GFX too. But at that price xVAT there are Better Sonys. Or even the Dell Vostro at half the price. But it is a very good one you have choosen!!

    Do you need that much of a HD given the external storage available in this day and age?

    Go Dell EPP

    Enter 777 then N0917003

    Base Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7300 Processor (2.0GHz,800MHz,4MB L2 cache)
    Microsoft Operating System Genuine Windows Vista® Business - English
    Enhanced Service Packs Base Warranty - 1 Year Business Hardware Support
    LCD 17.0" UltraSharp™ Wide Screen WUXGA (1900x1200) TFT Display with TrueLife™
    Colour Choice Matte Jet Black with 2.0 mega pixel camera
    Memory 2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM (2x1024)
    Hard Drive 160GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive
    Video Card 256MB nVidia® GeForce® 8600M GT
    Optical Devices Fixed Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Drive including Software
    Primary Battery Primary 9-cell Lithium-Ion Battery (85 WHr)

    OTHER OPTIONS
    Modem 56.6k V.92 Capable Internal Modem & Adapter - Ireland/Spain

    ACCESSORIES
    Bluetooth Dell™ Wireless 355 Bluetooth 2.0 Module (up to 3Mbps)
    Wireless Networking Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-Card - Europe edit
    Microsoft Application Software Microsoft® Works 8.0 - English edit

    Price = 1,124.09 all in... VAT and carriage.

    The screen size is better. The CPU/RAM Same.. the GFX is very good (google it..can play FEAR) but the one in the Tosh is better. Both have Series N wireless and blue tooth

    Given what you are prepared to spend.. you could get better CPU's/Warranty/Accidental coverage etc from Dell.

    It really depends what you want it for?

    If you have that much to spend and it is a desk top replacement the world is your oyster at that price. Be it Sony..a Dell XPS.. Tosh or what every. I'd rather spend the extra on a warranty tbh.

    Good luck with your research. Your head will be wreacked :)

    Head will be wrecked is right ... so many options !

    I liked this one for the screen andHDDVD. But i suppose if im being honest i dont need that much HDD space.

    Also, im not much of a gamer but am getting into it more and more , so this one seems to fit the bill.

    Do you think it would play Crysis or will any laptop for that matter ?

    Cheers for the detailed reply

    Your best bet is to take the game/GFX and figure it out. I dunno that game. Sorry!

    Just search the Tosh GFX. Down the side some where.

    I think this is yours...
