    ...specifically this one for €350; see link below. It's second hand, one month old with box and receipt. Seems like a good value to me. What do you all think? Any experience of the brand, how reliable are they? It'll have 11 months of warranty left. It doesn't look cool but the spec seems great for the money. Am I missing something? I'm hoping to use it for the web, MS Office, DVD burning/watching and perhaps a little light autocad/gaming/sketchup. I'm also planning to ditch Vista for XP. Any constructive thoughts, comments or advice would be welcome.
    Regards,
    CB.

    I like Lenovo/IBM's a lot. I personally think they are very good looking machines aswell as being pretty reliable. Lenovo took over IBM's laptop end of things a while back and people were worried that the famous IBM standards would lapse and let the brand down, however this doesn't seem to be the case at all and they seem to be carrying on IBM's tradition of making bulletproof laptops. You'll only be doing VERY light gaming / autocad with that machine though as it has integrated graphics and not a dedicated card. However for the money I think it's a very decent machine.
