Acer Extensa 5220 £239.71 - 5% Quidco = £230.
Don't get any cheaper than this, will probably need to add more memory, 512mb for £7.99 here.(add 2Gb memory for £26 here) Its not going to break any records but for internet, emails etc, ideal. Unless your going to spend £500+ to get a laptop with the Intel T7000 range and a dedicated graphics card your unlikely to notice the difference between this processor and many others. The Celeron 540M is 1 core from a Core 2 Duo chip. Many applications only use one Core so often this Celeron will beat a Core 2 Duo1.6Mhz. The processor is a Core Architecture CPU(as is the Core 2 Duo) which means it is faster than a Centrino Pentium M 1800.

At that price, the relatively frequent Dell offers represent much better value for money so I'd wait for one of those at around £50 more.The thanks button is here to the right. If you find a post saves you money, gives you useful information, or you agree with it, take a second to thank the poster!

Ah, I guess I clicked on it after they put the price up then. Cheers anyway!For the past few days it has been £233 as per my post above, they have put the price up now. As has been said, there are now better laptops available at this new £280 price. Bargain gone!!The pen is mightier than the sword, and considerably easier to write with.
