first of all :welcome: here :)

I think the http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129484 looks a bit better from the rest...

what are you going to do with the laptop as there is 1 slight problem and that is the memory on all of them.

well you get an extra 20 gig for a 200mhz drop in cpu speed.

you'll be fine then if you put in another 512 stick or better 1gb stick.

bare in mind that as soon as you open the laptop to expand the memory that Ebuyer and toshiba will NOT cover you for warranty issues

If its one of the ones on Hotukdeals or on an offer then they probably won't budge on the price.

however its its just the regular price and depending on how badly they want to sell you the machine sometimes you can get the telesales to throw in free delivery...

If not try http://quidco.com It will take a while and they will keep the first £5 you make for a years membership but you Will get cashback (eventually)

If your planning on going wireless you'll need a gig of ram to be on the safe side. If I was going for a laptop I'd budget at least £600+ for a decent system.

I sent my laptop to Toshiba for repair under Warranty with an extra stick of RAM in (that I had to remove the keyboard to get to!!!) without any issues

I popped the original ram/hdd back in when I sent my Toshiba back for a new backlight inverter.

They honoured the warranty no problems.
