waiting till after xmas to see what might be in the sales

I was going to suggest the Amilo L 1300 at Dabs, except it isn't there anymore. Just had one delivered here, and it's a very nice little machine :(. That said, how about http://www.dabs.com/uk/productView.htm?quicklinx=3jj0 ?

Go for the TravelMate
