Very good! I had written a post about the CX300s (15 quid if you look around).

Whereas I'm stuck trying to find a laptop for a friend. Needs to run Windows 7, minimal use - surfing, some movies. 15 inch. Keyboard with lots of travel and depth. Cheap shipping. €400. Not easy, as it turns out.

This looks like an updated version of my laptop:

£350 - 15", comes with Windows 7. My keyboard is fine for me, but it's hard to know without trying it what this one is like. It has a ATI Radeon Mobility in it, which isn't up to Modern Warfare (I'd imagine) but happily plays World of Warcraft.

Ebuyer don't ship to Ireland. =)

This is one of the many places it gets interesting. Now, Laptops Direct have it, but I'd really like to scrape off that excess €34.79.

Oh hang on. Ebuyer do deliver.

How was your keyboard? Lots of depth and movement?
