    If you can still find an Epson Stylus SX445w around its a good all in one, good quality compatible cartridges are less than a pound each for it.

    Newer models like the 200 series I think they are now will have different cartridges that have not been cloned so much yet and will be a lot dearer to keep in ink.. for a while anyway.

    I like my 7" NATPC tablet and even a year on from purchase it does everything I ask of it, however, I think a larger screen would be better.

    I would probably never use my 'old' laptop again.

    I see owning an ipad as keeping up with the jones's and £300 is a lot of money. Up to £150 for something that does the same job appeals to me.

    I agree - my ipad was £399 and really I could have nearly bought one each for 3 of us of a cheaper brand/model like you say at £150. We all love it but I think they'd still have been happy with a cheaper version. Can't say I'd do without my iPhone tho! Did buy some Samsungs as they appeared to be good value for money but it was false economy as they've been replaced twice already but all the iphones are 2 1/2 years old & all working fine.

    I've got an SX425w & very happy with it. I was attracted to the
    XP - 202 today as it was small & compact but the reviews are not good. I'll search for a SX445w as you suggest. Thanks. .

    The Acer that was mentioned appears to be a refurb. not new, always makes me nervous. Someone may have sent it back because it overheats and crashes after an hour but they wouldn't find that during refurb testing and it would be hard to prove it was defective later on.
    i noticed that too, i was going to suggest the OP has a look if there were any brand new ones around but forgot to suggest it.

    I am glad to hear your happy. Can you let us know where you got it for £130?

    (seems to be £399 most places)

    Missed the budget.

    But I did get mine for £226 as a recon from amazon (recent hot deal uk post).
