At the moment I am trying to replace an old Asus F3JR. I've got a budget of around £800 and am searching for a more updated laptop. At the moment I am looking at a HP Pavillion DV6-2060EA http/www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/HP_Pavilion_DV6-2060EA_Laptop_VJ689EA/version.asp

Any comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

For gaming your best bet is to find a Clevo distributor in your area.

Here's a US distributor I often use which shows the extent of the product line. These distributors typically make the laptops ofr the fancy 'custom shops" that you see in puter mags like alienware (pre-dell), Widow, FalconNorthwest, VoodooPC, etc.

BTW, all the "brand names like HP, Toshiba, etc are also actually built by ODM's like Clevo.
