2. Where is good to buy a new laptop? And by good, i mean reliable/cheap. I dont game, and i dont really use my machine for anything other than downloading, playing music, watching films and being a butte on IRC.
A long warranty?
Beyond that, it's hard to say. Each brand seems to have it's bombs.

A *lot*. A two-year-old midrange will probably barely make it to the low budget notebooks. 512mb is absolute minimum RAM you get nowadays, and the processors have hopped miles.

The Acer DM mentions seems good enough, but you'd probably enjoy a 14.1"er.
