that last one looks most promising, the one on the link (2nd laptop down for £449) but i can't tell if it is wireless or not, some sites say yes this one doesnt say.

Anyone know?

I'm wanting to buy that laptop now, but that review above looks a bit sketchy, so Im not sure if the model actually does have wireless, any way of finding out for sure?

(have already emailed them, but no responce)

it does say this
The Amilo A1640 is a cheap, but powerful laptop, ideal for the home, and maybe schools and small offices too, due to itâ₠¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s wireless capability.

What about an Acer

Cheapest at Ebuyer is Acer Aspire 3002LC AMD Sempron 2800+ 256MB 60GB CD-RW/DVD 15" LAN XPH + MS Works at £430

My Acer laptop is very good (different model).

I know I want high specs for the price Im prepared to pay, so I was considering something 2nd hand or ebay, is this a good idea, or am I better off sticking with a warrenty and a battery that isnt worn out?

TIA

I'd also go with an Acer. My young 'un has one and I've just bought one from ebuyer for £398 all in - but I don't think they have any left. Nice pieces of kit and very well put together.

If you do get one without a wireless card, you can always use a USB wireless adapter for around £20.

Don't know if it is any use to you but Woolworth's are advertising a laptop that has been massively reduced in price and I think it is about £300 now, sorry I don't have any more details

I think the make was Merion.

Make is Medion, my girlfriend just bought one in Weymouth the other day, RAM is only 256 and is shared with graphics, HDD is a pretty good 40GB, Processor is a Celeron M 1.3. It's a bargain for the price. I will be looking to upgrade the RAM first of all for her. It is an extremely lightweight notebook style laptop with an external USB CD-RW/DVD-ROM which keeps the weight nice and low.
