    Thanks Ahkip, I'm looking at getting the 9cell battery which is reported as lasting as long as 4 hours which isn't too bad.

    All in all I love the look of it. so yep going to order it today.

    Unless anyone has any objections or other suggestions ;)

    In AU dollars is spec to what i wanted $2300 ($1900us) or so dollars i then salary sacrifice it though work they claim the tax of the laptop + GST and I get it taken off my tax I pay. or something like that it Actually came to $1641 ($1356us) after speaking to our accountant at work.

    I still have to pay $2300 ($1900us) out of pocked but it $659 ($544us) of tax will come back in my salary over the next year or so.

    It looks pretty sleek. I bought a less-sleek but similar spec Toshiba Satellite U205-S5044 about 8 months ago for $1,300. It looks like those were discontinued to make way for a new model with Vista, but I've been very happy with my purchase. Core 2 Duo or better is the way to go, and 2GB of memory is quickly becoming the standard for laptops that have to run Vista.
