Inexpensive Laptop - advise needed.

I've been asked by some elderly relatives to recommend a cheap laptop - they will only want it for connecting to the net (surfing, ebaying and emailing) and writing the occasional letter. Any suggestions - my knowledge is very sparse on laptops. They'd like to spend as little as possible and are total beginners regarding computers. Are the -£400 worthwhile?

    There's one from Misco for £350-ish in the grabbit thread. No idea if it's any good, I didn't study the specs.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die
