[chipperz]

This is the Laptop i have been thinking about

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pavilion-dv...1_1?ie=UTF8&s=computers&qid=1283161407&sr=8-1

i know its a bit of an old model but i cant find any newer ones like that, does it really matter?

any advice or suggestions would be great.

thanks

EDIT: I just saw this Laptop, would it be better for the price?
