Need to get a new laptop to take with me to Oz. Needed for audio work and Im on a buget of around £500. Ive narrowed it down to a couple at the moment -

Seams a good deal, but ive not had that much experience with Fujitsu Siemens and it has no firewire. I can always get a firewire card for the pcmcia slot anyway.

Im pretty sure this has firewire, but has smaller hdd and ive got no idea how good Asus are when it comes to laptops. Theres a couple of them that seam to fit into this price range aswell.

Is there any others people would reccomend. And im not buying another Dell ;)

Thanks in advance.
