If not - what to change or even where else should I be looking? Is 256 memory enough for most people?

this was on offer about 2 weeks ago for about £330 inc the bigger battery but with a slightly smaller hard disk

you can get cheaper memory for these from lowestontheweb

I've upgraded mine with an extra 512Mb and paid the grand total of £358 for everything so it may be worth waiting to see if they drop the prices again

they change the offers evry Thursday by the way, bank holiday weekends sometimes have good offers

before you buy a laptop, what do you want to use it for? if it is just internet browsing and emailing then a basic or standard spec will do for you, if you want high performance gaming and graphics then don't go for the cheapest one because you want to start playing straight away, take your time shop around!

I'm looking for a laptop to basically browse the internet wirelessly and for DD to use. She plays games on say the CBBC chanel but nothing other than that. Lightweight would help with DVDRW and long life battery.

Any opinions would be gratfully received.
