Thanks for that, both look good.
I'm not sure how good Dell are as laptops, I don't know anyone who has one.
I use a Dell pc at work all day, and can't say I'm really impressed, but I'll check out the reviews on the web.
The Asus is US only and the shipping would cost a bit more, but I'll try to find the UK equivalent.

What I may do is wait until next April and look again as I should get more bang for my buck then (and maybe get some more Birthday and Xmas cash as well ;) )

Thanks for your help.
