Need your advice people. A friend needs a laptop and has £350 max to spend. What sort of specs can she expect to get for her cash?

this looks decent for the price: http://www.dabs.com/products/acer-aspire-5742-core-i3-380-4gb-320gb-dvd-supermulti-15-6--w7hp-7JJH.html

£339

core i3 processor
4gb ram
320gb hdd

have a look around - you should be able to find some decent deals

I recommend:

dabs
ebuyer
pc world
dell/dell outlet
amazon
as good starting points

Need an outlet that she can visit rather than online. I know that makes things a little difficult

Toshiba with fast processor for £350 at Argos (may let you have a look?) A little boring (and no HDMI) but 2 year warranty is a big selling point.
