I'm looking for one with about 1.6/1.8 GHz, at least 60GB of RAM, wireless-enabled and a CD and DVD writer.
I was under the impression that Dell were the best price-wise, but looking at them they don't seem all that great.
In fact, I was looking at Sony Vaios and they seem to be better value.
What do ye recommend?
Oh, and I tried the tech forum, but I was run out of the place by tumbleweeds.
They're quite prickly little feckers.

ok i know nothing about laptops but felt sorry because nobody replied
did you read the bit in the examiner today about the new computer thing coming out it's a touch screen one with the keyboard on the screen
they said it's going to cost between $600-$1000
anyways, i got a dell inspiron 9300 in aus this time last year. a sony vaio with slilghtly lower spec was almost twice the price. look out for the deals in the paper for dell... every 6 weeks or so they do a 33% off. i got that, a free printer, memory stick and delivery, and a cheap deal on a 3 yr international insurance.
60 gigs of ram? prepare for the scorn of the nerds
Ehhh, I meant to say 600.
I might look out for the Dell offers alright, but at the moment Sony is possibly slightly better value. Dell's so-called student special deals look like a bit of a joke really.
