ATM im looking at the Asus UL30A-QX131V, and also buying an external DVD drive with it so i can watch the few DVDs i have (most of my films are on the computer :D). It has lots of good reviews, and i've found it for under £500 http://www.asuslaptop.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=UL30A-QX131V which is always good :D]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[If you are going to carry it around to school etc get the smallest size you feel comfortable with. Most people get a too big one the first time, then they are stuck with it until they buy a smaller one a few years after. My experience from university is that most people get a big (15 inch usually) laptop the first time before switching to a smaller one.

Not only is a smaller laptop better for carrying around, it also make it easier to comfortably have both your laptop and school books, notes, whatever up at the same time in the often limited space you have whenever you are not at home.

For watching movies: you will be sitting so close to your laptop that having a small screen won't really matter.

I've been using a Lifebook S6410 (13,3 inches, 1,7kg) for the past year and a half and I'm very happy with it. Small enough to carry around to comfortably use wherever while still having enough screen real estate to work fairly efficiently. I use my laptop both for coding and writing and I've never had a problem with the keyboard size.

If you plan to bring the laptop to/from school I'd suggest you get a good laptop backpack (The ones with a padded laptop container at the back of it).]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[dont have an actual link...

But from my experience and what i've been told from others. 12" is quite small specially the keyboard. which can be annoying to work at if u have to write for a long time.

16" gets quite heavy.

i use a 15.4" laptop for school work right now... and i like it. :)]]></description>
