Page 1 of Laptop upgrade?

Hi Guys and Gals,

I am looking to upgrade my laptop which is pretty basic and v v slow now.

I have been looking a the Tiny laptop deals. But I get a little voice in my head that says "What the hell you doing Moron!?!?!"
They are very tempting, has anyone gone for one of the lastest models? Is it worth it? Its very strange that a computer company can have such a BAD customer service recored yet still be in business. Why is this? Are we just glad to get £1500 worth of laptop for £999 or what?
Are all the scare stories right?

I just can`t find an honest answer, I wish the PC mags would say it as it is???

Staples had some Acer Centrino (reasonable spec wireless, DVDR(+?) etc) for about £599 recently.



I enjoy being wrong and clueless on other subjects - My wife usually alerts me to which ones, as there seem to be an awful lot around the house.
