Beats the Dell in almost every possible way- it even has a Bluray drive.....

I'm not fond of Laptopsdirect- and people's experiences here are very mixed (to say the least), but you're going to have serious difficulty beating some of their offers.

If you want a serious monster- have a look at the Acer 8930G - its what I use- its a dream laptop.

MS Office Pro left out though, which explains 300 quid worth of extra enhancements.

Ok. To start from the basics.

Are you a home/student or business user? Do you really need MS Access database software and MS publisher?
A home user can get Word, Excel, Powerpoint at a saving of €200 euros.

Would agree with smccarrick that upgrading to a more up to date Intel CPU should cost very little and is recommended.
