I recentley had my laptop stolen and am looking to replace it. Im looking something around the value of 600-700. I know a bit about them but want other peoples advice. I want something media based, with a 16"+ screen and enough power for a casual gamer, Fear,RA3, Oblivion etc. HMI output is a must

Anyone got any suggestions? I've been looking at these phew. I like them becasue of their strong processors and dedicated video card's. Anyone know of anywhere better than PC world aswell

Amilo's are pretty good, pretty reliable and good spec.

Have you looked at Samsung? Wife got an R700 a few months back from John Lewis for £600, 17" WXGA+ display with HDMI out and 4 GB of RAM, it looks really nice. Only downside is the graphics resolution of 1440 x 900, but I don't find that much of an issue.

They've brought out the next model up since then, the R710:
