or possibly, a 15" dual core lappy with HDMI and blu ray? decent enough to replace a desktop
 
I think you'll be hard-pressed finding a small laptop with a Quad core processor. This is mainly because of the fact that they need extra fans, heatsinks etc to keep the unit cooler.
Most gaming laptops, like you said, can be found with a Quad Core, however, it does seem a 'waste' to buy one if you do not intend to use the graphics power.

May I ask what you will be using it for?
 
want to replace a desktop generally and have it as a mobile one.

e.g take lappy on holiday (bored stiff on planes), to work etc, but when i get home i'd hook up with USB and firewire (ext hard drives and wifi keyboard and mouse) and HDMI to my telly and use it as the main PC at the time
 
the dell M6400 Covet has

1. Optional Intel® Core 2 Duo Quad-Core Extreme Edition processors for ripping through complex analyses
2. Up to 16GB1 of fast 1066MHz DDR3 memory for large data sets
3. With 1GB2 of dedicated professional graphics memory
 
wayyy overkill. 4 GB ddr2 maybe, but DDR3? overpriced at the mo.

will have a look at the dells around feb time i think

EDIT
------

really, something with 4GB DDR2, at least 1.8Ghz dual core, min 250GB drive, HDMI, and a blu ray/HD-DVD drive is what i'm looking for.

15" ideally, but 13" would do.

updated the subject due to me checking out blu ray lappies

found the Laptop VGN-FW21L - which goes for £590 but the Sony VAIO AR71 M is £100 more generally but seems quite a bit better.
 
i've found this - Acer Aspire 5920 Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 2GHz, 4GB RAM 250GB HDD, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 15.4" TFT, Blu-Ray/DVD-RW, Vista Home Premium
for £479.
