It would be nice with if I could send a signal from my computer to my television, so I can watch movies I have on my computer on my tv. But on which of the 3 laptops do I get most value for the money?

If it's my personal choice, I'd choose option no. 2 (i don't like Home Basic & Norman AV, plus I'd choose bigger hard drive. A slightly faster cpu but with less hdd space etc won't change my mind)

Hope you're not planning on gaming on ANY of those laptops. You don't mention prices so I'm assuming that's not an issue... #2 would be my pick. The third laptop looks fine, but if you're going to put up with Vista you might as well have the Premium version... thus, #3 is disqualified.

I'm not planning on gaming on them. My little brother is turning 18 soon, so my parents want to buy him a laptop. He doesn't really game. It's mostly old games or emulators and such. And all the laptops cost the same.
Btw I suppose you can't use an xp office cd-rom in Vista, right?

Of course you can use Office XP in Vista. Hell, you can use Office 2000 in Vista. In a perfect world (according to Microsoft) you'd use Vista and Office 2007.

I still use Office 2000 on Windows XP.

Well, if you're not into gaming a basic Dell would do you fine... every now and then I see them offering one (in the US) for like $699 w/ 2 GB of memory and a C2D processor with Intel Graphics.

I'd assume Dell's pricing would be remotely similar across the pond.
