The thing that annoys me with laptops is the lack of storage space. I
quickly filled my 250Gb drive on my MacBook with VMs,
HP laptop - 15" widescreen, 2GB RAM, 120GB hard drive... £379.99 at Tesco.
For your £1,000 you can buy a couple of them and still have a couple of
hundred quid spare to spend on other things.
Every little helps, as Tesco like to say.

Just to clarify, the reason I'm so paranoid about purchase of a new
laptop is the hell that this Acer laptop has given me in terms of
constant problems and having to continually send it off for repair.
