I have set myself the challenge of finding a laptop, cheaper and just as good build quality as a macbook, same specs or better, to avoid paying the premium and getting one (very tempting)
I take it pretty much all makes/manufs are the same
Looking for a 13" screen, high quality, good resolution, decent graphics solution and 2gb at least.
For under £640
Where to start :P
Dell or HP I would have thought, Sam. Why 13" and not the more common 15?
Well 15" is definately ok, just looking for portability/weightwise
The sony FW looks HOT, but the price tag is steep for uk buyers (US price is so much more reasonable :()
Have you looked at the Apple Store refurbs? They're said to be better than new!
Check out this one:

You can get some Quidco on that too.
Cancom have some old model MacBooks in their clearance section.

They're still not cheap, are they. :(
Still not cheap enough for me, at any rate. :(
Nope, but then we wouldn't expect anything less from Apple. :)
