    If you want a webcam you will have to stretch to £274.

    There are fair few choices under £300, though #1015 was the pick of the crop.

    A tad over budget at £379 but with a pentium duel core this Toshiba looks a good buy? New, not a refurb.

    Any reason why you are posting this? Are you asking? If so, no it's nothing special at that price. No webcam or HDMI output and a Pentium Dual Core is certainly nothing about which to get excited. The new Celerons are certainly not far behind.

    I wouldn't recommend the spending of the extra £75 over this Toshiba at £304 under most circumstances.
