Hello all!


I'm in search of a new laptop.

This is what it MUST have:

12"/13" screen.
Nvidia Graphics Card
Looks sexy (A MUST)
Up to £600


I was looking at the Dell XPS M1330. Fits the criteria but I've heard about motherboard/gpu issues. :\

Please help :D

Thanks,
Tom

Those are some pretty... loose criteria, my man. I dunno what looks "sexy" to you but I'm pretty sure there are tons of notebooks made by every manufacturer with an NVidia card and a 13" screen.

Yeah, thinking about that. Sexy is kinda broad.

Basically the look of it is very important.

Thanks :)

I'm not keen on the Lenovo's style. Don't know what It is.

If your needs are modest the Dell range takes a lot to beat

Is there a reason you want an NVidia card? Something about it that you can't live without?

I ask because that's kind of an odd requirement considering you're probably not going to be playing loads of games (unless you're keeping Windows on it, in which case I'd actually say wait until Windows 7 comes out fully).

I love my HP Pavilion dv2000 series laptop. Very sleek design, 12" screen, nvidia geforce 8400, 2 GB of RAM. It also runs Ubuntu 100% flawlessly :)

Nvidia Graphics Card because its discrete and they have nice drivers for Linux.
