    Hey, if you want to spend £500 on a 2nd hand, obsolete, laptop when you can get a brand new, higher spec one for less, don't let me stop you ;)

    Have a look at something like the one I've linked below - about £30 more than your 2nd hand donkey ;) (inc. delivery), it's a Core Duo, fabulous price, solid seller. Price it up on the Dell site and you'll see what a bargain it is. It's only an example - but go for new, it's really worth it!

    Let us know what you choose! :)
