Folks ,
Been looking at buying a laptop for awhile now for basic enough stuff, mobile web browsing around the house mostly. Was in PC World yesterday and was drawn to a Toshiba selling for €749.99. It was the last of that particular model and floor model.

Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor T2330 (1.6 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 1 MB Cache)
Genuine Windows Vista (R) Home Premium
2 GB Memory
120 GB Hard drive
17" Widescreen TruBrite Display
DVD ReWriter dual layer
Wireless Enabled

Onynx Blue/Silver colour

Was close to buying it but said I'd have a look online and found it here cheaper :

Decisions decisions. I like the Toshiba but have purchased from Dell previously.

Any recommendations ?? What would you choose ?

The dell has a better spec and is cheaper, I'd go with that one myself.
