Devil Buying a laptop.... which one??

I am starting a new job in the New Year and am going to treat myself to a laptop (to keep in touch with the PPRuNe!!)

I've just been down to PC world and seen a laptop that seems to do the biz but I was wondering if anyone had any info on it or other deals around.

I am looking at the £800.00 mark and have been told to avoid Celeron processors as they are slow. The laptop I am considering reads like this:

Packard Bell K5266
2.66 GHz
Intel Pentium 4 Processor
15" TFT display
DVD ROM & CD-Rewriter drive
256Mb DDR RAM
40 Gb hard Drive
64 Mb nVidia GeForce4 Go 440 Graphics
Microsoft WIndows XP home edition & Works 7.0
4 Usb ports
Firewire Port
Infra Red port

£798.98

I want to access the internet, watch DVDs and play games along the lines of the Sims (sorry Ibut I like that game !!!)

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
