    Hi, I was considering buying an Acer 6930G but I have just seen this HP laptop on www.play.com and it looks pretty amazing! It's up for pre-order coming out on Friday and is £599, here are its specs:

    Processor: AMD Turion X2 mobile processor RM-75 / 2.2 GHz
    Memory: 4GB
    HD Capacity: 320GB
    Display: 15.6"
    Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 - 1GB
    Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit
    Dimensions (WxDxH): 37.9 cm x 25.8 cm x 4.1 cm
    Weight: 2.9 kg

    http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/11566...Vista-Home-Premium-64bit-Laptop-/Product.html

    The only thing that stops me from just pre-ordering this laptop is the fact it hasn't been released yet and so there aren't any reviews saying whether it's good or bad that and that I have never used AMD instead of Intel and the last ATI graphics card I had was shocking to say the least. What do you guys think? Are HP laptops good, reliable etc and are these specs that great?

    Cheers

    Thanks very much for the link but that review is for a different model without the updated graphics card and processor, does anyone know anything about this new version, or think that it would be good for gaming etc?
