That sounds a nice bit of kit mate , I wonder how heavy it is for a lappy .

CM you mentioned in the OP about using your nice TV and sound system ,, probably seems an obvious thing to say , but make sure your new machine has an HDMI port built in to take full advantage.

If you really wanna break the bank hoe about goin for a SSD , no heat and loads a speed
Pretty much any HD laptop has an HDMI port- with torrents so popular everybody wants one.

It's not lightweight at close to 2.5kg, but that wasn't a big issue as she only needs basic portability from the house to the car.

I wanted to stay as close to $1,000 (30K baht) as possible, which meant it had to have a bit of heft- an SSD added way too much to the cost- I ended up paying 35K with a RAM upgrade and legit Windows 7 64-bit, which was a good deal for the screen and specs it has.
