I hope this can help people to better find their ideal notebook.

Check out the Asus G50VT X2 at newegg.com

Thanks for that, both look good.
I'm not sure how good Dell are as laptops, I don't know anyone who has one.
I use a Dell pc at work all day, and can't say I'm really impressed, but I'll check out the reviews on the web.
The Asus is US only and the shipping would cost a bit more, but I'll try to find the UK equivalent.

What I may do is wait until next April and look again as I should get more bang for my buck then (and maybe get some more Birthday and Xmas cash as well )

Thanks for your help.

Looks like a good deal except the CPU and LCD is a bottleneck. Your choice It has a great GPU for that price though. Quite a portable size too. Can't find a Dell XPS1330 with that video card and that PRICE!
