looking to buy new laptop today

[csmith]

I was going to buy a vostro 1700 but it appears they want nearly 4 weeks to deliver one, so my wife has told me no. Go and get one today!!!!!

These are the two i've managed to get it down to from looking around PCWORLD,Comet etc.

Which spec would you go for.

HP laptop £479

Tosh laptop £500

Toshiba P200-17C multimedia laptop main specifications –
• Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5450

Any thoughts, we want it from home/light business use and for light game playing and DVD playing etc.

Or has anyone seen a better deal.
