Best laptop under 400 quid?

As per title. I'm not a gamer but do a bit of video conversion and editing etc.

Thanks in advance.

wow...awesome response

That's better thanks guys.

Been looking around and thought I'd better up the budget to 500 notes which led me to the Fujistsu Siemens Pi2515.

Any opinions on that one?

No opinions? NOt even on Fujistsu Siemens laptops in general?

I ended up spending £699. !!!!!!!

Dell Vostro 1500
T7500 2.2Ghz
Geforce256Mb 8600MGT
1440x900 screen
9 cell battery
Vista Home premium.
Since added a 7200rpm Seagate Momentus HDD (makes a big difference)

Didn't want to buy Dell but couldn't beat it for the price.

Didn't want 17" screen...wanted a 15".

Also it's conversion I do more than editing.

Got to say I never really considered a Mac. They look too expensive and seem to concentrate on style over substance. I'm happy with what I've got.

Triple booting Ubuntu, XP and Vista has all bases covered...LOL
