Has anyone any experience of buying the Dell refurbs? Thay have lots of minis with XP at £161 which seems a good price but am worried about the fact there may be come cosmetic damage.
I want it for daughter xmas & don't want her disappointed that there are scratches etc on it.

Thanks

From what I have read the refurbs are usually as new. Though some are described as "scratch and dent" which may have cosmetic blemishes. Don't forget to add the Vat and delivery charges on top which bring it to £213.19 all in. IMO you can get just as good new elsewhere for not much more money and the Dell is only worth it if for no extra you get a 6 cell battery and WWAN card integrated.

For example, this is just as good if not better in a choice of colours and I believe has a 2 year warranty for £200 http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5081880/c_1/1|category_root|Office,%20PCs%20and%20phones|14418968/c_2/3|15701344|Laptops%20and%20mini%20laptops|14419039/c_3/4|cat_14419039|Mini%20laptops|14419042.htm?storeId=10001&referredURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.argos.co.uk%2Fstatic%2FProduct%2FpartNumber%2F5081880%2Fc_1%2F1|category_root|Office%2C+PCs+and+phones|14418968%2Fc_2%2F3|15701344|Laptops+and+mini+laptops|14419039%2Fc_3%2F4|cat_14419039|Mini+laptops|14419042.htm&jspStoreDir=argos&referrer=COJUN&cmpid=COJUN or if battery life off the mains is important for £40 more http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-Seashell-10-inch-Netbook-Processor/dp/B002DR4KA4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1257670501&sr=1-5 or
