As the title! I've got to get myself a new laptop for work, since we've just took a new employee on and she's going to have my current one, and so I would appreciate your suggestions to help me bag a bargain!

The essential criteria are:

BUDGET: £700.00

17" Screen
Dual-core CPU
Dedicated Graphics (not shared)
Minimum 3Gb Memory
Vista Home Premium, although it's probably going to end up with Windows 7 on it.

Please don't suggest a second-hand Mac, because I've already bought lots of rather expensive windows software for work and so wouldn't use MacOS enough to warrant it.

This Toshiba looks firm favorite at the moment

Fire away!

I will look for a link for you

Acer

I have much love for this one.

HP

I have limited knowledge on graphics cards but I think the HP's ATI card is the best.

Toshiba's are awesome.

I have a model A200 with
4GB RAM( 3GB effective you know why)
512MB Dedicated Graphics (1.8GB including shared)
2.ghz dual core
400GB HDD

Performance is amazing.
A200 is the old model but specs are new so i dont care. A300 is the new one which I guess is the 15" variant of the P300.

The one in the link is nice.
