Well, folks

This is what I have gone for and its shipping to me now:

HP EliteBook Mobile Workstation 8730w - Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 / 2.8GHz - Centrino 2 - vPro - 4GB RAM - 320GB HD - DVD±RW (+R DL) / DVD-RAM - BT - 802.11 a / b / g / n (draft) - TPM - FPR - Windows XP Professional - 17" WUXGA TFT (TopValue) (HP Promotions*)

I have also ordered a dedicated USB HDD to make a full backup (I was running rapidly out of space). The one I chose was this:

Iomega Desktop Hard Drive Value Series - External Hi-Speed USB 1TB Hard Drive - 7200 rpm - Buffer: 8MB

So, thanks very much for the input
