I am being continually impressed and would highly recommend it. Being a 13.3 inch, it is highly portable, the screen is great and the battery lasts for 3- 4 hours on normal surfing etc and about 3 hours for media use....

Has just been bloody reduced to £449 too, I paid a little more for it....there are only a few left, everywhere else they are still around the £500 mark

Go to Amazon and look for HP DM3-1030sa, its a little beast !!

Any questions, feel free to PM me

Hmm..

thanks for the advise mate, appreciated.

I heard alot of good things about HP, a allround laptop for surfing, gaming etc

will look into that.

thanks again

Good spec, but not a great battery life, and beware those recon units....

Reconditioned, they are generally items that have been returned faulty, they then get fixed and re-sold at a discount.......

The computer I'm using right now is reconditioned. It's great, was about £100 cheaper than a brand new one and has worked a peach ever since we got it a few months ago. This is it below:

Fair enough mate I just got a couple of mates who work in Comet / Currys etc who didn't recommend them thats all. If you still get a years warranty etc and the item is in new condition then great, but I'm kinda thinking about the laptop I bought at new year that did'nt work properly, I took it back and swapped it for a different model, but the non-working one will re-appear at some point as a recon unit....but I won't tell you what brand and model it was !! ( I done a bit of research, and there was apparently an inherrant problem with the connectivity of that specific model........the company I got it from were happy to swap it, I think they had had a few back !! )
