As thread title says really, if possible i'd prefer not to have a concrete block

I'm in the same boat as yourself - considering a laptop and have about £900 to spend. I'm really liking the XPS 1530 with a 2.2Ghz processor, it looks really good.

Do you want a thin-and-light laptop, or are you happy with a 15' LCD?

Ultra portable, Mac, or 15" normal laptop?

Dell XPS 1530. New design, looks great, good spec.

Or XPS 1330 if you want something smaller, thinner, lighter.

Do you want to play games or not? If the answer is no then go for a macbook.

Either hold ctrl when you click or use two fingers when you tap the touchpad to right click.

The good things about the macbook are that it looks good, is light, very portable, and the spec is pretty good value for the price you pay especially if you have HE discount. Also you get osx but can use bootcamp for windows so you get the best of both worlds.
