    Looks like it should do you nicely. Win 7 is a big plus over Vista anyways. You could probably find something slightly better online for cheaper, but cant use your 1-for-all card there.

    Argos is "quick" and handy too. Not sure about Harvey Norman though, none of those is my neck of the woods.

    This is the same one for about 460, delivery should be free. Getting Windows 7 costs ~15 for delivery of it. Unless your vouchers are for a good sized amount Id keep them for something else :cool: Dunno if it would arrive before Christmas though...

    EDIT: Hard drive is only 250GB and processor is different actually, apologies. Probly makes up the price difference

    the specification is fine for everday use and basic gaming , nice definition on the screen , be careful when leaving that laptop running on on a bed , with that graphics chip, overheating may be an issue, so use in on hard surface.

    but recommendation really all depend on price , Argos are generally on the mark with their prices, be aware if you get any issues with the laptop , u will be redirected to manufacturer for warranty issues
