I looked at the dell link that tranced gave but it was for US dell.
I did check the UK site but they don't really have anything with the same specs. XPS is about the closest but its already at the money I paid for the vaio when you try to configure it to as similar specs as possible
thinkpad probably would have been my 2nd choice from what I saw today but I think I ended up with a pretty good deal now

seems a good deal
just remove all the bloatware from it and it will be pretty snappy (vista has its own apps for power / net management)

I love Sony laptops but have had experience of a couple with screens failing just after the warrenty runs out. Deal with HP everyday at work and they are really reliable unlike Dells.

you can get the Vaio extended (2 extra years) warranty for as little as £127 (on Amazon) now so probably for the first time ever I will do that for this new laptop

i was going to say get a dell xps.
mines a 2.1ghz c2d, 3gb ram, 8600M GT 256mb card, 320gb hdd, hdmi, bluetooth, wireless n, etc, etc.
it really is well equipped. cost £590 back in june (with some discount codes).
you can really spec them up if you have the money.
the support is great too. emailed them about my hdd which failed (unlucky i guess).
they sent a courier asap and i got a new one

some nice lappys announced at CES so far. Check them out masseur. Maybe something worth waiting for?
Im always a big fan of the Vaio's though

yeah, I have to say the new
P series looks quite smart, and with a great 8" screen, but compared to other netbook sized laptops its going to be very very expensive (I read £800+)
