Definets it has to have is webcam, high speed, HD for watching movies on the go, they all come with wi fi these days don't they?
Do I have to buy the spreadsheets power point stuff seperate?
I really want a deal where it is al lthere not just buy the laptop then have to pay out for the case, the security the power point the battery add ons etc seems never ending spending.
I have really struggled to save the £400 so want it to be a one off payment and this comp here is only got 2g ram so upgrading as this is so very slow and drives everyone mad with the whirly circle waiting for pages to load:rotfl:

You'll have to spend extra for PowerPoint (about £67) so both the Dell and the HP computer on your links will take you over budget.
Ebuyer have a Fujitsu Lifebook for £300 including delivery. It has a 500GB hard drive, 4GBs of memory and a 1.3Mp webcam so should be suitable for you.

Powerpoint here for £67 including delivery.

To be quite honest though you'd be better off asking MSE member Closed for advice, on the Techie board, about speeding up your existing laptop. He's an absolute gem for that sort of thing and will save you hundreds of pounds. You probably only need a an additional 2GB of RAM added which will cost £40 tops and your laptop will whizz along. It's normally dead easy to fit as well.

There are lots of choice for you at that budget.
Go Ebay amazon or newegg for a search,then compare for which one is the indeed one you need.0
