Comparison shopping

[tinyjo]

OK, I'm planning to buy a new laptop probably (specifically I'm looking at this one, £100 cheaper in Dixons). So the question is a) where can I look for a bit of price comparison? Seems like a good price to me but what do I know? And b) any other laptops/makers you'd recommend? Any comments on Packard Bell as a maker?

I'm really really happy with my ibook:

Same sort of price range. Also the new OS supports out-of-the-box commnication between Mac and PC network wise.

This is the one I wish I'd waited for...

i.e. like mine but with the ability to do wireless and games.

Now, now! I did consider getting an iMac but I may well need to put .NET on it at some point as well as having a lot of windows games. .NET seems to have enough trouble running under winXP that I think running it on an emulator would be stressful to say the least!

This is the one used by my group and my department. They deliver quite quickly and they got an excellent after-sale service.

Already ordered it :) They do it at the same price as someone we already have an account with so I went with them. Ta though.
