Anyone recommend a lower price range laptop?

confusedone

hi and sorry if this is the wrong part, but ive had some good advice in this forum and thought id ask about here..
Looking for something half decent for under 300 quid really. I use laptop for professional packages for college work, mainly adobe stuff like illustrator, photoshop, flash and dreamweaver. I know people may say you need quad core and 4+ gig ram. I do have a half decent desktop my main work, but my current laptop is a free one i got with a phone around 3 years ago with only one gig of ram, and ive been running CS3 on it perfectly well. Ive just got my hands on CS5, and also my laptop is dying now with bits falling off and slow at times - for the record it is an ASUS and i fully recommend one of them, had a few laptops and this free one has caused the least problems, in fact none! Anyway.....

I see some in argos sales with 3g ram, and other things in it for around 250 and that sounds good to me.

Anyone give any pointers, or anyone bought a cheaper one and recommend them? or seen any good bargains at the minute? Looking to buy it this week.

Thanks in advance

I bought the HP one and it does the job. Not sure if it's good enough for your needs though but for £263 I am very pleased with it but it's now gone up in price but they might be reduced in store as when I bought it they were reduced on line but not in store but there were some offers on last week on latptops as I walked into Tesco Extra.
