Great piece of kit
I bought one from Argos, yes Argos, after much searching for an affordable laptop that could manage a decent go at gaming. It has a T6400 cou and Geforce9600M GT in it and plays COD4 well but not on full settings. It has a Blu-ray player and on the 1920x1080 HD screen films are superb. Oh and it does the officey stuff well also;-) Comet have a very similar model for around £630 at the mo. No Blu-ray and you'd need to check the screen res. Not realy suitable for on the road but if you want to be able to easily move your PC from room to room it's great. I'm still really pleased with mine after 5 months.
