    too many bubbles in someone's shandy tonight? the link went to a range of dell deals, desktops and laptops for around £300. I've yet to find anywhere selling a brand new desktop with warranty and screen for £65.

    "They have discounted a laptop as they will be tempted to take it from room to room" - the need (which is obvious) is there in post 1, I'm putting forward an alternative view into the melting pot about the advantages of a laptop over a desktop once you get over the transportation issue

    You could always try your luck on a site such as the below but in your area (the below are ones) local to me!:

    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Worcester-Greencycle/
    http://groups.freecycle.org/worcester-freecycle/posts/all
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SwapitWorcs/

    But I suspect you'd have to be very lucky and would probably end up with a right old nail!!
