Looking to buy a laptop

[Masahiro]

Hi there everyone,

I'm thinking of getting a laptop.

I've found a company in the UK which ships them out without Windows [I will be installing Linux].

The two laptops I like [and can afford] are:
The Maverick 3000, on http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/nbrange.html?MAV
Or the Maxfire 3000, on http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/nbrange.html?MXF.

I can also afford laptops higher on the list than the two ranges I've mentioned [ list at http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/nbrange.html?MXF ]

Also, if you know of any UK based companies that sell laptops, operating system free, for under around ₤530, please let me know in this thread.

What kind of things would you use the laptop for?

I might be able to help you out and look 'cos i bought one a little while ago(and im in the uk too ).

out of the two you showed i would go for the Maxfire 3000 (or even better 3700 if you can aford it)

thanks,
