What Laptop?

[syke]

Looking for a new laptop to last a year or so.

Needs to be decent for programming, and general use.

So im guessing either dual core..1GB ram or something along those ines.

Id like 80GB+ HDD.

Notreally a strict budget but id prefer under £550 if possible as i am wanting a new mp3 player too

Any ideas?

Sorry for a re-post but we didnt buy one earlier due to buying other things
