Thanks for all the advice.
I had a good look at the HP website as well as the Lenovo and Toshiba, but a friend bought an Acer which has a very high spec and which seemed to tick all the boxes. He likes it and uses it virtually full time without trouble. It is his third Acer.
I bought an Acer Aspire Timeline 4810TZG for £502 inc VAT. I could have bought the 5810 with a larger screen (15.6") but portability was important so I bought the 14" screen version.
The reviews seem pretty good and the battery life appears to be five hours when working flat out at up to 8 hours when on light use. That's good enough for me for a cross Atlantic trip with the kids.
Do I need a special adapter/converter for the US, or does the transformer automatically compensate?
