Espada, if you have not already jumped, you may like to have a look at this 15.6" HP G62-1-55A one at £449.

The bit that appeals to me is the use of the latest type i3-330M processor, typically 2.1GHz --- which is quite fast for a laptop. That speed previously resulted in a short battery life, like 2 hours or so, but this i3 processor has power management ---- you need to check it is being applied in this particular HP design.
Others on here may be able to comment on this HP version.
I saw an HP Laptop using this processor in Comet the other day and the display stated an in-use power consumption of 18 watts and 0.8 watts during standby. Also a battery life of 6 hours. Check this one has a DVD player, just in case.
Incidentally, IIRC, the i3 is a four core processor and is in such great demand there are shortages and Intel is having to ramp-up production.
