well im currently looking for a laptop, and was toying with the idea of buying a cheap one, and then upgrading it, hence getting better performance for less money, however iv not looked to deeply into this, so im not really sure of the pheasability of this. one which has caught my eye was the advent 7096, which seems to have better stats than laptops of a similar pricerange; my budget is about 600 GBP absolute maximum!, which i realise is fairly cheap anyway.
thanks for your help by the way
