Dell certainly sells in the UK - I bought my 9300 with WUXGA here and it is the 'nuts' - the 6000 with WXGA screen (1600x1200) would be the best budget laptop with the screen real estate needed to multitable - and it would be more portable - the 9300 is so big (17.4" widescreen) that it's more of a desktop replacement

Sorry to thread hijack, but is the only difference between the 9300 and the 6000 screen size? Same performance and stuff? The extra screen size sounds nice, but I don't know if I want to pay an extra $400-$500 for an additional 15% screen space.

Here's the Dell comparison.

Dell Notebook Comparison Page

I've got a 600m (1400x1050), which still has overlap, though not as much as my old 1280x1024 desktop lcd. Very portable, might want to consider size if you'll be toting it around.

I would personally stick with Dell over a no-name brand.

How much overlap does your 600m have? Can you still see all four tables and players cards with it? Ant info would help. Thanks

Whether you have a 15,17",19" or 21" monitor (laptop or desktop) what matters in the max resolution.

You buy any 19" desktop monitor, the max res. is still less than the 1600x1200 needed to 4 table without overlap. To get to the 1600x1200 you need to move up to 20"+ desktop monitors.

Buying the DEll 15.4" WUXGA laptop you will have up to 1900x1200 which means you can 4 table and have a little screen space free (the 1600x1200 screen is a little cheaper and will also let you 4 table).

The 9300 and 6000 (with the same max resn screens) will therefore give you the same results. The tables will be physically a bit smaller on the 6000 but the amount of stuff you can fit onto the screen will be the same..
