Lappie £700ish

[holy god of nil]

Would like a laptop, preferably small and lightish for working on, travelling with and the odd bit of gaming on (little really taxing graphics but civ4 will probably blow it up without )
I've been searching around but they're harder to research than desktops
Basically would like (but will stretch) pentium m (740ish) 60 gig hard drive 512mgs ram, so bog standard, but i really want something better than in-built graphics. was thinking nvidia 6600 but is x700 better/as good?
For this lot i have a budget of around £700 but i could go higher and was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

EDIT: have been looking at sony's but their graphics are ****, and mesh seem alright, i like a nice looking one rather than a brick

I have been on the same quest and found that you just cant get a good laptop with gaming capabilitys for that money, unless there has been great change recently.

same here tried the dell and it was a bag of ****e, if u want a good game system your gotta be looking at over a £1k for anything with a very good 128 pci card, it sucks dont it, they keep offering deals on lappys on the tv but then the graphics card they put in them are ****e for most games, we dont all have £2k for an alienware now that is sexy!

Only 64MB of video memory, but it IS an X700. Then again, it's an Acer...*ulp*.

Acer are a good choice - that laptop looks great.

thanks the acer is pretty nice but i reckon, form having looked at loads of sights, that i'm just going to have to pay more.

Acer have the worst customer service known to man (search the forums).
They are great untill they go wrong.
