Best 17" laptop for around £1500

[lamocuk]

Hi all,

I have decided to treat myself and purchase a new laptop.

I have around £1500 to spend.

I intend to use if for the following:

Gaming, DVD viewing + possible downloaded Bluray films. Office - Outlook, word and XL (though not CPU intensive files).

Ideally something with a decent battery life or a cheap 2nd battery (prefereably that can be charged seperatley).

So.... I want to use it for everything 8O)

I did purchase a chunk of a machine from Dell a while back. An XP something or other that would just as much crush your legs when using it on your lap as it would probably out perform most desktops. It was very high spec and very high priced. BUt the main issue with it was the size and weight of the machine and the fact that the batter lasted 2 hours!!

So... any advice?

Cheers

Also.... does anyone know how long it takes to delivery something from OCUK if its stated that its in stock, but i upgrade various parts?

ie.... i like some of their laptops, but want higher spec.... if i change the spec, does this mean that it remains in stock or that they need to check on their stock levels for the upgrades??

Cheers
