New Laptop ideas?!

[stuaz]

Hi all,

I have been looking around these forums for 'ideas' for a new laptop.

Currently i have Toshiba Equim A60 with a P4 in it running XP. Unfortunately after three years it is finally giving up the will to live

I am starting Uni at the end of September, so need one to take with me, so it has to be resonably light, but still pack a punch.

I will be using it for all the Office suite, as well as Adobe Photoshop. And then whatever Uni throws at me.

I have been looking at Sony's in majority, in particular the:
Vaio : VGN-CR29XN/B : United Kingdom

I like the Sony;s mainly because they product are generally built to high standard, and they look **** good too!

I don't fancy a Toshiba again really. I have a budget of 500-600 UK £

Any ideas of decent laptops etc. I live in the UK btw.

Thanks all!

Yeah on that site. Found it cheaper else where but figured i would link the Manufacturers website.

okay fair enough. i always had a particular tendency for vaio's

I have a cousin in the US, who i could get a VAIO shipped to from the US site, thus saving me quite a bit as well currency wise.

In terms of power and other problems - i obviously know i will need to change the Plug to a UK one. But i assume the power brick thing will convert the electricity etc. Or am i being naive in that respect?
