    Or have a look at the first couple on this page....plenty powerful enough, 17" widescreen, and £299...may even get a couple of quid back through quidco...

    http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/editorial/refurbished-laptops/?camp_id=ppc_google_refurbished_refurb_laptops_editorial_page

    or even the advent one at the bottom of the page for £290

    bp still have this one for £180...will still do what you want it to do

    ...but the price is starting to creep up closer to £200...then is it worth paying an extra £100 or so for a newer spec...only you can really decide

    Jack, BP have a 3 month warranty on most laptops, for anything up to an extra £100.00 is it worth it for 12 months warranty, answer yes.

    I'm willing to go up to £300.00 as my maximum, providing it has a 12 month warranty from any supplier.
