You're only going to get a refurbished or second-hand laptop at that price so maybe you'd be better off going for a netbook? What do you want to use it for?

Have you looked on Ebay? You could be lucky and a real bargain appears as people start to think about upgrading in time for Christmas and before the VAT hike in January.

New LCD screen £70. New Keyboard £30.

Alternatively, sell your current laptop for £50 to £100 and up your budget to closer to £300 and get a nice new laptop.
