I know this has been discussed so many times already - but if anyone can recommends a place/website to purchase a laptop then please let me know, I need it to be delivered fairly soon (before new year if possible)
Mix and match, and I woulld probably go for a Core Duo Mobile.... with the most memory you can afford, and the best hard drive you can get, which is usually the slowest part of the system - the 7200 rpm drives may decrease battery life, but you really will see the difference. NCQ is supposed to help multi-tasking.
A medium-range processor with more memory and a fast hard drive with a decent cache will probably be better for most tasks than spending the same money on faster processor / lower spec other components. In general, most processors will sit there waiting for something to do while data is found for them to work on by other components.
Graphics requirements are dependent on usage... doubt you need fancy dual-GPU cards....
