Samsung SF311-S01 seems pretty good

When are you going to use it? At school? Just at home?
Because carrying a 15 inch laptop isnt that easy

Personally I would go for a 13 to 14 inch laptop
My advise is to wait for the "ultrabooks" (uberthin, macbook air-like laptops) They will probably be out of your budget but might lower the prices

read up+I don't mind carrying 15 inch, not travelling much with it

The HP is pretty good already, however some ppl claim that HP's built quality is extremely poor. Same with Acer.

You could look into Asus laptops. I got one myself and so far others also seem to be satisfied with theirs.

Hardware you should look for: Intel i5 2xxx (Sandy Bridge), Geforce GT 540m and enough RAM. That's basically it. Rest is just design/harddrive/battery life etc.

The nvidia cards come with the advantage that they are not used during windows work or other low performance stuff, thus resulting in a longer battery life.

You should be able to get such a setup for 550-650 Euro easily (depending on brand and additional gimmicks)

Edit: Just read that you also need a bluray drive, the Asus K53SV series seems to be perfect. They offer various setups, even with bluray drives.

If you consider price/performance, probably yes. If you just look at the built quality, it's surely not. But then again the Thinkpads and Macs and others are so much more expensive that it's almost not worth it.

I bought HP Dv7-2055ew. Wouldn't reccomend it to anyone, it's constantly overheating + it's hard to get to the fan to clean it up. Dunno if it's a problem with HP notebooks or AMD cpus. :s
