Cheap (ish) Lappy
 

Can anyone recommend a cheap (ish) laptop. A friend wants one, doesn't have a fortune to spend unfortunately. I haven't a clue what to look for in a laptop, so will welcome any suggestions.

Budget is £300 - £400

Thanks. :)

Ebuyer have a number of reasonably priced lappys. What will it be used for?

Re: Cheap (ish) Lappy
 

She needs it for her daughters homework, and internet use for homework research, nothing too demanding really.

Probably the odd game, again, nothing too demanding.

www.novatech.co.uk has some good deals on laptops :)

Thanks for that !

But...........

Any thoughts on this one ? Worth the money ? I might be able to persuade her to shell out extra, if it's worth it.

Looks like a pretty good deal. A bit light on memory, but fine for homework/browsing etc. Cheaper than any of the Novatech systems (when you add XP) and has the HP brand. I would probably go for it.

Dell are pretty good for reasonably priced good quality laptops :tu:

That's what I was thinking too, thanks for your input. :tu:

Well she sent me a link to a Dell if you take off the support costs Dell always seem to automatically add for you, it's just under £400. Not knowing about processors on these lappy's, am not sure how the Sempron on the Dell matches up against the Centrino on the HP lappy. Any ideas ?
