    mate, i'd avoid the Targa machines because there is a serious problem with cracked hinges!!! do a search in google for more info.
    i haven't ordered from notebookshop myself but i've heard they are very reputable.

    German keyboards have a different keylayout than irish ones and caracters we dont use.
    You could of course mark the keys with the right caracters once you get it.

    As far as i can see the toshiba is a much superior model, the battery life is also twice as big @ four hours which is always a good thing.

    Ah Sh1te wrote a reply and it dissapeared.
    Tagras have probs with their hinges
    but i hav only heard that a few times so it may be down to rough and tumble.

    As said the keyboard is different slightly only google the layout.Also the OS is probably in German
    Willing to buy German try www.jes.de for deals sometimes - also try lidl on their deals for Tagras................no quite serious,check bargain alerts forum.
