Comparison shopping

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?

;-)

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!
