i'd expect a better processor for that dough to be fair, plus it looks fucking diabolical.

No offence but Yellow? Why?

That just screams 'Try Hard'. Its a laptop not a fucking car, seriously go get something nice and understated and for that price you could get something really good.

If I saw someone get that out first thing I d think is 'Twat'.

I would take this sony, I have it on pre order, and due to not paying VAT £1100 is a great price, it has the new Core2 processor also.

I wud think so, although cant be certain, what are you wanting to run? which will require a better graphics card? That will run all of todays games fine with a decent fps. I use a Vaio currently with a 6400 and its does a great job.

If u want a gaming laptop, look at the dell xps or the duel Sli Alienware, although thats a 17" screen its still very good value, "for a laptop"
