FYI Toshiba warranty can be extended to 2 years http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/warranties-insurance/
EDIT: sorry, I was wrong, the Toshiba you list isn't on the list -> here

Comparing processor oomph, Toshiba benchmark is 1463, Lenovo 1570 (slightly better)

Sorry, cannot add much; at this price you're buying a budget laptop that will be fine for light use (browsing, email, office); battery wont be brilliant either; also crap for games. One other suggestion -> a slightly more costly Lenovo for £300 but has a big disk and lots of memory -> https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/Lenovo_B550_1029392.html

I just want a laptop not sure about netbooks if they do the same as a laptop with same size screen yes. Otherwise No. why I am inquiring about laptops and stuff I was hoping that someone in the know would advise me of

1. If the make was ok, as in curry's own compared with a Canon or Nikon.

2. and what it has inside for its age if its any good i want something with pretty good guts not something that will catch fire if you know what i am desperately trying to get at.

grumpycrab FYI I have bought the one in the link you gave me :T
Me and the wife are a bit old in the tooth for games so this is good for us surfing, Facebook, moneysaving expert and talking to our Son in the Army.

Huge Thanks to grumpycrab and free4440273 as well :T
