    Laptop advice

    I'm looking to purchase a laptop. Budget is around 500-600 unless something screams value for money I'd push for 700 tops.

    I saw a Toshiba laptop in shop today that caught my eye. They seem to have nice screens, solid looking systems. Initially I was looking at tecra range, but consumer range would also do the trick.

    link or link [this one looks like same model but with bigger screen]

    It won't be travelling around too much.

    Usage will be work & home - Ms office, Internet. Multitasking. I will want to watch video on it whether online or on physical media. I do light image editing. Upload occasional video online.

    Do you think it's a good idea to go with discrete graphics for above?

    How would ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5145 compare to intel media accelerator. Or should I save money by avoiding discrete graphics?

    Avoid Intel media accelerator alltogether.
