Celeron M370 (1.5Ghz)
256MB RAM
40GB HDD
14.1 TFT

PC World has a Packard Bell for 379.99.Mozilla has denied you the link and I don't know how to configure the darn thing !!

It's a web exclusive deal,but I have ordered stuff from them mail order in the past and was well impressed with the service.

As allways,check the specs and buy accordingly.These things seeem to be getting cheaper by the hour.I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a sub 300 quid laptop before chrimbo.

I have seen a laptop advertised at Woolworths. Does anybody know if this is a good offer or not?

Is this the one?

I don't know if it's any good but as you can see with the link,an extra 10% discount through wanadoo.

Checked this morning in my local store, Acer 3502LM

Incidentally they also had a 18" Trolley case with matching laptop case in silver, hard plastic for £4.98.

Staples are doing one for 399.Dvd re-writer,big hard drive and serious RAM-age also.This is a VAT inclusive price which is not always the case,especially with some of those Evil-Bay "power sellers".

My daughter wants one for Christmas and I will probably be shopping around November so If any of you get one of these 400 quid jobbies,please let us know if they are any good.

What's the difference between Pentium M and Celeron M and Centrino Mobile processors?

I'm looking for a cheap and decent laptop too (15"-15.4 screen is a must) but not having much luck. Any recommendations for places to go?

Dell have random offers on all the time, and although they're not always the cheapest they always come 1st in customer satisfaction surveys.
