Hello all,
I don't normally post on this board, but was wondering if someone could give me some advice pretty please
I'm looking to buy my first laptop - will just be used for general surfing, maybe youtube or i-player and will need to connect wirelessly. Only have a small budget though - looking to spend no more than £300.
TIA

Have a look at this one from Dabs looks a great deal to me and £50 off at the moment making it £279. If you are not bothered about battery life. Bigpockets have a lot of cheap deals on re-furbished laptops from £150.

I know that you said laptop but this notebooks pretty good. I got one not so long ago and as long as you don't need a cd drive its pretty good =] battery is good and it's pretty fast for a notebook.
