Toshiba for £297
HP for £298

Probably a better bet than a Medion from woolies

Ok so not dual cores etc, but perfectly adequate for Office type stuff

don't forget the Dells

LINK
Change to 1 year warranty to get £387 - and that is for dual core ( and you can still have XP)

It's a beauty.
Mate works at Currys so I got it a bit cheaper than £399, but they're selling out of them within days. It's their top seller.
17" widescreen, core duo, Vista Home Premium.
Quick bit of tweaking in the OpenGL settings and it runs Counter Strike better than my desktop.

She hasn't bought one yet, but I'll let you know!
