[thenameisjb]

Hi,

I'm after a new notebook/laptop with the following spec:

- Core 2 duo or better
- 4gb RAM (DDR2 800 or faster)
- SATA 7200 HDD
- WXGA+
- HDMI
- Win 7 64-bit
- Wireless n built-in

Please let me know if you are aware of any models that are reasonably priced! Any suggestions would be gratefully received - thanks!
JB

Check out Dell's website to configure your own or check out Asus' pre-configured models. Both are reliable in my opinion. Toshiba isn't bad either.

Thanks for the replies and sorry for being vague! I was thinking of £800 or less and portable so approx 2kg...

Just about every laptop brand you ever heard of is made by an ODM you never heard of. Why not cut out the middleman and go right to the source.

This is a US site but find a Clevo distributor on your side of the pond.

"CLEVO is a large Taiwanese computer company specializing in laptops. While the Clevo brand name is perhaps not widely known, their products are re-branded and sold by known boutique brand OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers)… notably Sager, VoodooPC, Falcon Northwest, Eurocom, etc. They are also considered (by whoever knows about notebooks) to design and manufacturer the best of the best notebooks in terms of superior build quality and innovative designs."

At bottom of above link are various reseller contact information on both "sides of the pond".
