A mate of mine bought an Acer from these guys recently. Had pretty good service too.

Pricey, yes... But at the end of the day, that notebook has some quite useful extra features:
1) HDMI output
2) LED backlight
3) Vista Ultimate
And the 6730s will be, I'm sure, the same price if not more!
I'm not too keen on the Acers. On paper it seems good, but especially your story of frying the graphics

Honestly, I'm just justifying the increase in price. As mentioned before, I'll be running Ubuntu 99.99% of the time anyway

So do I... And it looks pretty sexy too!
Oh, not to mention the included 3 years next-business-day support... Big plus in my books
Get a real man's latop. Get the one with built in Intel gfx, basic wifi, no bluetooth, DVD drive, 80GB HD and small screen. No HDMI, no DVI, no GPU, no extra HD, no Firewire, 2 USB ports max, no included WinDVD, ....
Business all the way

Well it makes a nice, unconventional paper-weight

No, no, no... That's the genius of it... It's a notebook BUILT for mobility... One that you're too scared to carry around for fear of it
a) breaking, or
b) getting stolen
Wait... Maybe that DOESN'T make sense
