Bear in mind Windows 7 is out in a couple of months and you won't get a free upgrade from Vista, unlike the Yanks.

What kind of games you into Chubbs?

Generally, laptops + gaming = nono.

Decent laptop, does blu ray and apparently the HDMI link is good if that sort of thing flosts your boat. Apparently it's quite heavy though, so don't plan on carrying it anywhere. Processor could be a bit better but is good enough for a laptop.

It should handle most games, you won't be able to run top settings on the more modern games though and forget about Crysis unless you want to play it in a tiny window. If you're really concerned about games you can build a desktop with a decent flat panel monitor at the same price which will outspec the laptop in every way.

I'll try and have a look if I can find similar for cheaper Chubbs. Unfortunately you may have missed the boat because Tesco were doing them for £400 the other month

Cheapest I can find that one now is £483 inc vat. For the money it's got a very good spec.
