why dont you barrow like 200 euros like Blade said and then you will have enough money to get a good laptop :-)

Pentium M is good. There is a wireless internet card installed inside the computer so when you go on travels.. and your friends have a router BAM you have internet lol :-)

My father has one and it really looks good :-)

I have an Idea, why don't you go around fairs and stuff, and build your own pc, if you please, sell it for more than you bought the parts for, and buy a pc, or just make an even better one than you did before?

that's a bit too troublesome? but i agree with traxor. building your own pc is cheaper if you know where to look for the parts

If you can help it, DO NOT get a Celeron - they under perform. A processor at 1.4 Ghz will perform at aprox. 1 Ghz :dodgy:

Well we went into the shop, with a budget of £500, and came out spending £1700!


[Image: VAIO-VGC-M1_4.jpg]
We got a Sony Vaio VGC-M1
Its like a dekstop/laptop hybrid

Its really small, and compact, all the components are mobile, but it doesnt have a batter and u wudn be able to carry it around with you.

But i love it, it has a fold up keyboard, that when folded down is a pc, when folded up is a hifi (1/3rd of the screen is still shown and acts as an equalizer/control etc...

I also got a HP Scanner/Printer with a Memory Card slot for printing digital pictures, a fuji-film 3mp camera, office xp and a mp3 player.
