Is such laptop available?

Basically i need a laptop for uni...i had in mind the Philips X57, but i can't find it ANYWHERE. Specs:

T5500 C2D CPU
1GB Ram
100GB HD
Geforce go 7400 256mb

£359

Can anyone suggest me a similar spec laptop for the same price? I don't want to touch anything with intel gma graphics. I've searched around and found absolutely nothing apart from the vostro range but i am unsure of the 1150 ati graphics.

I was also looking at ibm thinkpad t40 refurbished, but for such an old laptop it is quite expensive so i am unsure still.

My budget is £400

Thanks

I have an Acer 5633WLMI with a Core2Duo T5500 @1.6, 1Gb, 120GB HDD, but it has the 7300 Video instead.

This set me back nearly £600 in march/April time. so this may be worth a look

But I won't tell you where ( and nor should anyone else

) as an enforced holiday often offends.

How much better is a geforce go 7400 compared to a ATI 1150 hypermemory?

GuruJockStrap · 12 Oct 2007 at 21:36

The 7400 was considered a mainstream mid level dedicated graphics solution for laptops. It supports ,Shader Model 3, has 4 Pipelines a 64-bit Memory Bus, a core clock rate of 450MHz and dedicated memory running at 450MHz.

The ATI 1150 supports Shader Model 2 and has 2 Pipelines. No dedicated RAM so it'll use system memory. It'll be quicker than the Intel but below an integrated GPU like the Go 6100 and 6150.

It'll lag so way behind the nvidia GPU.
