    TOSHIBA Satellite C660-1D7 £259 inc delivery.

    Specs here
    Discrepancy as to amount of RAM installed and processor. So perhaps it has been mis-labelled. Either way you are covered by 7 day 'no quibble' return. Will be brand new, regardless of the description.

    If you are happy to pay the extra, then browse some of the other recent threads to see the best in your price range.

    Since you have not actually stated your usage pattern and requirements, you are unlikely to received a tailored response.

    I've simply linked to a similar machine to your original choices, for less money.
