    Hi,

    I am looking to purchase a new laptop, my requirements are:

    Budget Between €1000 and €1500

    Intended Use I will be using the laptop for college, word processing, email, storing pictures/songs, downloading, internet (wireless), burning, storiong files etc.
    I dont need a laptop for gaming.

    Mobilty: I want it to be easy to travel with.

    Warranty: I would like a decent warranty with the laptop as I hope to have it for a good number of years.

    I want to stay away from MS Vista as I have heard alot of complaints about it.

    I have found a laptop Lenovo on laptopsdirect, heres the link:

    http://www.laptopsdirect.ie/Lenovo_ThinkPad_T61_7664_ND21GUK/version-1.asp

    I would like to know what ye think of it, I'm unsure if it comes with a DVD Burner. Maybe somebody might be able to tell me

    Thank You in advance :):)

    Yep, that lenovo has a dvd re-writer. You might also want to look at the xps m1330 from dell. It's a 13" so it's pretty light and portable.

    I do likes the Lenovo / IBM but I also agree you could get a very nice M1330!

    surely for your needs you could get an xp laptop on the dell website or outlet for 600 or less. I got a dell inspiron 1721 with 2 gig ram 240 gig hard drive and 1.9 Mhz dual core processor for 660 before christmas.

    He's looking for mobility though. I wouldn't call a 17" laptop, very mobile.

    Another one, bit over your budget but looks beautiful.
    just incase you don't go with the Lenovo.
