    I think you may need to increase your budget a bit, that's quite hard to find under £400

    GunJack, I have looked there but all the links are to eBay and to be honest I don't trust eBay for buying stuff like a laptop!

    Ebuyer has a couple of Compaq laptops that might fit your bill:

    Specifically, the CQ56-111SA and CQ56-113SA, one's a Celeron and one the other a Dual Core.

    To get better than these you'd either have to up your budget by another £100 or go for a refurbished machine.
