    Hi,

    Your first link comes back dead, and the second curry's link goes to a list of laptops. Within the £300 range, I would say the Acer Aspire 5332 is the best to go with. But in no means am I saying its great, just the best out of the list within 300 quid.

    If your interested, I have my unused laptop I'm looking to sell that I purchase last year in November, but never got the chance to use, and its just sitting there. It's a Packard Bell, 17" widescreen, Dual-Core 320GB HDD, 3GB RAM, webcam, SD Card, wifi, Windows Vista, Bluetooth... The lot. Let me know and I'll cook up a price. I'm willing to go lower then £300, I'm a little strapped for cash latly.

    No worries, out of curiosity, what did you get/how much did you pay for it?
