    I need a new laptop for poker and what not. I stuck up a thread in the poker forum on it here if anyone wants a read

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055193642

    Basically narrowed it down too a Dell. Bit odd though after pricing a few up i noticed this:

    Inspiron1720(N0172008) @ €999
    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7250 (2.00 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)
    Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium - English
    1 Year Base Warranty - Collect & Return
    Jet Black Colour with Matte Finish & 2.0mp camera
    17.0" UltraSharp™ Wide Screen WUXGA (1920x1200) TFT Display with TrueLife™
    2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]
    250GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive
    nVidia® GeForce™ Go 8400M GS with 128MB DDR2 dedicated graphic memory
    Fixed Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Drive including Software
    Primary 6-cell Lithium-Ion Battery (56 WHr)

    Or


    Inspiron 1720(N0172002) @ €998
    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7250 (2.00 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)
    Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium - English
    1 Year Base Warranty - Collect & Return
    Jet Black Colour with Matte Finish without camera
    17.0" UltraSharp™ Wide Screen WUXGA (1920x1200) TFT Display with TrueLife™
    2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]
    160GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive
    nVidia® GeForce™ Go 8400M GS with 128MB DDR2 dedicated graphic memory
    Fixed Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Drive including Software
    Primary 6-cell Lithium-Ion Battery (56 WHr)


    So it's costing me €1 for an extra 90GB of harddrive?

    Forget that. Take a look at the Dell Vostro 1500:

    2.0Ghz intel core duo [800mhz fsb - 2mb l2 cache]
    3Gb ram [667mhz]
    15.4" Wide Screen WXGA (1280 x 800) Display
    160GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive
    Fixed Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Drive
    128MB nVidia® GeForce® 8400M GS

    should be well good enough for general games. Plus its only €699.

    Cant go wrong there

    Great spec alright, but that excludes VAT and delivery.
