Laptop for less than £250?

Macrae88

Hi,

I'm looking for a new laptop, my budget is really £250, I need it by the end of the month really for study.

I've seen the HP 255 on ebuyer for £249, which looks OK, a 1.75 ghz dual core processor.

Is there anything else cheaper that would work just as well. I had a. Dell last year with a 1.0 ghz dual core, and it was awfully slow, it couldn't keep up with playing YouTube videos...

It needs to be at least 15.6 inches, and have at least 2 gb ram, and have at least 300 GB HDD.

Thanks,

GunJack

look at argos' ebay clearence store, usually a few on there possibly even just under £200 on the right day...

Is it the problem with your internet speed?

An alternative to that HP is considering refurb.

The C660 is old hat. I would go for the more more well equipped 850 series.

Toshiba Satellite C850 £173.99 Order another 4GB RAM module for £18 or less.

So no more than £192.
