Hi-Grade has announced the launch of the "official England FA laptop", describing it as another way England fans can "show their support to the lads".

Available in home kit white as a 10-inch "mini notebook" and away kit red as a 15-inch laptop, the official England laptop is built and configured in England and bears the three lions crest.

The netbook gets a 1.6GHz VIA processor, runs Windows XP, has a 160GB hard drive, card reader, three USB ports and claims 2.5-hour battery life.

The basic laptop offers an Intel Celeron processor, Windows Vista, an 80GB hard drive, a DVD/CD drive, Wi-Fi and the same 2.5 hours battery life.

Licensed by the FA, the netbook costs from £316, while the official England FA laptop starts at £391 with both available from www.higrade.com/england. Any profits go back into "grass-roots" football.
