Cheap Laptop/Notebook

Hi. Looking for some help finding a laptop for my 12 year old and notebook for 8 year old daughter. Not too worried about spec but budget around £500 to include both if possible. Have been to PC World, Argos & Currys but none seem to have any good offers. Need to get before Xmas rather than waiting for sales also!!! Any ideas???

    Argos has an msi wind for £200 at the minute with 2 year warranty, you can also get the Acer One Netbooks for about £200 in Tesco and ebuyer, check the Dell website as well, www.hotukdeals.com is usally a good place to keep an eye on
