Yep they are compatible with pretty much every laptop. That one isn't great value, you should be able to get a 320GB one for the same price.

any ideas of where to look out for one around dublin or elsewhere???

All the usuals really, from peats, to pcworld/dixons, i'm sure they'd have a better price than argos. And there are plenty of online retailers that would sell them cheaper than buying here.

Maybe check this site out, prices seem reasonable. I'm actually looking myself at a 320 - 500GB Hard drive, still to decide where to buy.

If you're slightly adventurous, you can assemble your own combination: Komplett can sell you an enclosure and a 250GB drive for under €90, or 320GB for under €120.
