Laptop Advice.

OwtForNowt

Hi there.

I'm in desperate need of a new laptop and came across these;

http://www.bigpockets.co.uk/cat.php?search=Laptops&nav=227

All I need it for is basically;

MSN
Surfing the web
Entering competitions

I dont really need an amazing battery life as it will be for use at home and I dont mind it being second hand.

I dont really know much about this type of thing so thought I would ask for advice.

Thanks.

I'm only looking to spend around £150, perhaps a little bit more if need be.

Trawl eBay for a good second hand buy. Perhaps something consumer-centric like a Dell or HP rather than a Lenovo

Is something like this any good?

With A code and quidco it would be around £160. Is it worth it?

now that makes me laugh as they are the SAME company !!!

had a play with one of these the other day , 3 cell battery so about 3 hours max depending what you are doing , think it had a connector on the side so it was possible to connect to a real screen

Thanks. When you hover your mouse over them on the netbooks screen it shows a green box and 'available', but when you click on them, after a few seconds it goes to 'out of stock' boohoo.

I like these if you can find one at a good price
