    Well, after screwing around with piecing together a new self-build, I've realised that I need a laptop (no desk-space at home, constant to-and-fro-ing, 300kb/s+ download speeds in college :D ).
    I've only got around €1250 to spend, and even finding a vendor is freakin' insane! So I'm asking you guys to help me, please!

    Simple run-through of what I am looking for:
    • Pentium M processor (fastest you can find)
    • ATi X600 128mb GPU (or similar)
    • DDR2 RAM (or DDR, I'm not sure which P-M's take...will be upgrading this myself, tho, so cheapest option prefered)
    • 15"/15.4" screen (I've got a decent 17" TFT to hook up to at home, so will consider smaller)
    • Any HDD (cos I'm getting an external)
    • Integrated WiFi would be nice, but no qualms about add-in cards

    Yes I know it's very loose (I am mainly price-driven). It'll be used for mild gaming/surfing/emulation/learning Java&HTML (ie, everything). Surely someone can steer me in the right direction? Please??

    Also, what about Apple's range--should I consider? (I think I may be able to get a 17% discount through a cousin, so...)

    Thanks all :)
