Dont know if anyone remembers a month or so ago I asked for advice on laptops. After a bit of looking around I went for a Dell Studio 15 with:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz Processor
4GB Ram
320GB Hard Drive
Blu-Ray Drive
Intel Wireless Card
Bluetooth
Bunch O Surfers artwork
2 Year In Home warranty & Norton Anti-virus pack
Cost a bit more than I was planning but will hopefully do everything I want and more!

2hours or so I think from what I have read about other people that have them.
Dont know what it will be like with Blu Ray playing but it'll be plugged in next to my tv then anyway.

Hmmm...battery life is a big deal for me, as it renders a laptop unfit for purpose if it isn't truly mobile for a long period of time.
Still lovin my X31...I get about 5hrs out of that badboy

I've decided to go for the XPS M1330. I really like the Studios, they're great, but I wanted something a bit more portable and the XPS is nice and little

Very nice Matt, great spec only thing I would have opted for 3gb RAM rather than 4gb as your OS will only pick up 3.25gb instead of the 4.1gb
But saying that suppose for the price of RAM at min won't have dropped it much
