[JJ!]

Well my serach for something light, portable and with good battery life is starting now I have the funds...

First on my list is the 11.6" Acer Aspire 1810TZ

Crams all this in:

Processor - Intel Pentium SU4100 / 1.3 GHz ( Dual-Core )
RAM - 3 GB (installed) / 4 GB (max) - DDR2 SDRAM - 667 MHz
Hard Drive - 250 GB - Serial ATA-150
Operating System - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Screen - 11.6' TFT 1366 x 768 ( WXGA ) - 24-bit (16.7 million colours) - CineCrystal

Also looked at the Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TZ:

Just over budget, but good battery life and size. Only problem I have with this one, is that after a quick go on it in Currys, the Lid felt so damn week! Plus points are that its not got a glossy lid or glossy screen surround!

Any other ultra portables out there for under £450? Up to 13.3" size screens with good battery life?

Avoid Acer.

Worst company to deal with ever when things go wrong and they normally do lol.

They seem to offer a lot of tech for the money, but grab an HP, Dell or Toshiba.
Have a look in Tesco Stores! some good offers on Dells etc...

Avoid Acer like the plague.

I will NEVER buy from them again, bunch of idiots.
