Hope this is the right place.

I need some links, prices and general help finding a new/refurbed/2nd user good nick laptop for wor lass.

it'll get used for college/uni work (So I can get 2 mins on my pc again) and probs surfing the net, thats it.

doesnt have to even have an O/S installed. I can sort that and all other software. enough cpu and ram to run either Ubuntu or xp. pref a USB or PCMCIA slot.
would like to keep it this side of Ã‚Â£200 if poss. since i doint usually buy pc related stuff from anywhere but work, i'm a bit confused as to where to get me hands on this mythical machine

you'd think working in a PC shop i'd be able to get hold of one, but alas any laptops we get offerred as 2nd hand tend to be not worth buying.
