    Got my son a Compaq from HP via Quidco and got a great deal last year. May be worth seeing if they have something similar this year?

    Just checked and they have a code for 10% off (see Quidco site) till 30th April.

    Some Compaq Presario laptops with 2G of RAM for £359 before 10% discount.

    2 Questions that will help out :

    1) How much do you have to spend.

    2) What do you want to use the laptop for.

    Do you have a local PC World nearby? I popped into there yesterday and they had 10 "stock clearance" laptops, which were ex display models or didn't have boxes etc. Most of them would have come within your budget and have the specification you require. It may be worth nipping down and asking if they have any clearance models in your local PCW.
