I'm looking for one and thought we could have a round-up of what eveyone has found in the low-price laptop market:
I've seen an NEC one at Staples for £399 The spec on that one appeared to be the best in the £399 field. Built in WiFi. Anyone got any comments on this one?
Should I instead go for a £340-£399 Dell? New offers probably starting tomorrow...
Anyone bought the awful-specced PCWorld £299 lappy? Any comments from actual buyers?
Post your £399 (and below) nationally-available laptop offers and reviews here!
Please include vital specs if you've got them (screen size/HDD size/Processor/RAM/WiFi/Optical drive spec) and include a weblink if it's online.

Hi Iankirk,
I'm going to move your thread over to the techie board where hopefully you will get more replies.

Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

Without wanting to be rude, could I suggest you look at the 470-post sticky thread "The Great 'Cheapest Decent Laptop' Hunt" at the top of this forum? And additionally, about every fortnight, there's Yet Another thread which asks "Which cheap laptop should I buy?"...
