Ok guys, i wanted to get a portable dvd player for the kids and with decent ones costing £70/80+ i thought i might as well spend a bit more and get a notebook which i could obviously be able to get more use of. Whats the deal with Windows 7? Is it stable enough yet, anyone had any experience with it or should i stick with XP/Vista.....

Yep Windows 7 is ACE :thumbup:

Also runs well on lower spec machines if you turn off the fancy graphics

I take the graphics is a feature if 7? I've heard that you need 2gb ram as a minimum for running 7, it's likely that I will be getting a a book with 1gb, will it run ok on this?
