Thanks for the feedback
Yes you are right I should give a price range. Max would be $1300 US ($1500 Aus) and the max size is 15 or 16 inch screen
Work programmes and office 2003 (excel/word /power point stuff) and some older games / internet is all I really need. I could spend more but I work as an engineer and very far away from an office environment. The likelihood of it getting dropped/bashed/wet is high
My home PC will always be THE gaming centre of my world
