Making the move to a laptop.

You could always look for "music" type computer builders in the UK like ADK.. I'll be there are several..

That of course is the best option...Thing is I am trying and can't seem to find much. Everywhere I look is the same names recommended, and searches aimed at UK don't prove very fruitful. If I can get the price down low enough though, this may not be an issue.
