Might be a bit over his budget though, my 3 year old XPS M1710 still sells for around £650. That laptop seems pretty good, but maybe you should consider getting one with a better graphics chip if you're planning on using it for media.

what's wrong with the Intel GMA X3100?? is it too weak? I mean it supports vista aero interface with ease

I have heard of some dvd playback issues with a bit of lag. No one want that I would also go with a bump up in the gfx department.

It's not that it's terrible, but some of the new Nvidia and Ati offerings are so much better, and they don't cost a lot more. With an Intel chipset, you may get a bit of lag playing HD video - I certainly did on a GMA 950.
