Hi All,

I'm looking for a laptop to replace my 15 year old tower PC that has just about given up, I need the laptop to do the usual tasks, watching DVD's, browsing online and running MS Office applications etc.

Any laptop can do that, so you could go sub £300 if you wanted.

Your tasks are not demanding.

How about this MSI CR630 for £259.

Little need to spend a lot for what you need. The £250 that you save buying this one will get you a fantastic laptop in the years to come. Full twelve month warranty.

It was a reurbished PC when I got it back in 2000 and then it was 3 years old so it's actually only 14 years but if truth be told it hasn't been going right for the last 2 years with various problems such as power failing and screen freezing etc.

I knew I'd mentioned this before on here but I'm actually going to sort out this issue this week and the two laptops below were the best I found going through the shops today.

I'm with TT on this one, you can get a perfectly decent-spec lappy for around £250 or less to suit your needs...why pay more ???

Which operating system, processor, ram (right click on my computer) is it?

have you tried these laptops in the shops?

Windows 97 with 64 MB of RAM is what my PC has.

I'd be concerned about getting a PC off Ebay has they will not have a warranty.
