Laptop for £300 I know i've already asked.
 
I'm still looking, the bank holiday special at PC World was all sold out of those Compaq Laptops in every store and online just after the offer started.

So i'm still looking for a laptop with a budget of £300. I did see this on ebay and looked it up on tesco direct and it's £349 so might be a good deal. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT


As a refresher what I will be using it for is general surfing, Playing online poker, word processing and watching online streams of box office boxing and football matches.

That ebay offer looks very tempting

That one on ebayer does not look bad I know it has no OS but they are not hard to come by.

Linux is free, but I have plenty of keys for Windows. If you have a retail copy it is perfect not that Windows is much anyway.

I have got both vista black and Windows 7 Ultimate so would stick Windows 7 on it, Still having a nose around at the mo.

Windows 7 isn't out yet though. Not until Oct 21.

Yes the laptop is brand new, i might even get one myself. Have bought from ebuyer several times and allways found them to be top notch.
Check out the Review and Comments section for said laptop, most seem very pleased with it.

Yes, I have one next to me, it is good enough for the price.

I have been keeping an eye on the stock level's as I don't get paid until the 29th but if the stock runs lower I will use my credit card.

My only concern about that laptop is what seem to be very poor battery life at only 1.5 hours is this correct?
