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.

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.

Re: Laptop for £300 I know i've already asked.

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.

Re: Laptop for £300 I know i've already asked.

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?
