The cheapest NEW laptop you can get

avantra

I bought a good specification new laptop from Ebuyer.co.uk last week.
It is a PcChips G535 Notebook with AMD Athlon 1.2GHz CPU, 256MB DDR RAM 40GB Hard disk, DVD/CDRW combo, WLAN + Windows XP Home

All for £422.99, last time I looked they still had 200 units in stock.

I think for a new laptop this is amazing price.
The laptop works fine out of the box.

By the way to find this laptop: Quickfind code: 84444

How does a 40 GIG HDD is better value than 30GIG and DVD ROM when the former is £10 cheaper?, this is a mobile CPU laptop and the Dell is a regular CPU laptop therefore might be more power hungry and get hotter.
Just a thought

Dell Inspiron 1000 is £410 inc vat, delivery & 1 year RTB guarantee

14" screen, 2.2GHz celeron processor, 256mb DDR RAM, 30GB hard drive, CD/DVD optical drive.

So that's £12.99 cheaper

I think this one from Comet is good value, friend bought it the other day.

Does the Dell have mobiile technology though?

Not bad though.

I would rather pay the extra for the amd than the celeron, these celerons are useless, also 40 gig versus 30 gig hdd.

The Acer lap top is Intel M tecnology, better than celeron.

Those nasty old 128kb cache Celerons are certainly worth paying to avoid and certainly the AMD is a better option. That Comet one is a very good price and if you want cheaper and more modern get one with a celeron-M like this one:

There's not a huge diference between a 1.5ghz Celeron-M and a 1.6hz Pentium-M.

I think you'll find that there IS a huge difference between a celeron M and a pentium M - never mind the clock speed, a pentium M has a massive level 2 cache (2 mb) while a celeron M only has 512 kb. This makes a enormous difference when doing multimedia stuff, like editing digital photos or movies.

Why do you think there's such a price difference between the 2 processors?

This thread doesn't make sense in places now because at least one of the earlier posts (I think it was originally post #2) has been deleted, eg post about Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop. Why was it deleted?
