Size? Touchscreen? Battery Life? Gaming? Or just the cheapest you can get?

Does it have to be a laptop?

Some tablets are just as capable if its for everyday use.

What, you mean compared to the days when high-powered computers were fifty quid?

A BBC Model B, not including a screen, was £399 in 1979. It does seem somewhat whiney to complain that, after 35 years of inflation, it costs about the same in nominal terms to buy a computer that is roughly a million times more powerful.

Are they exist?

Take a look at the manufacturer refurbished ones. They come with a full warranty but cost less than new. I bought this machine I'm on now over 4 years ago as a refurb - still going strong!

Or be brave and dive into Ebay for a pre-enjoyed laptop

Medion Akoya E6234/MD98409 £209.99

There is only one left at the mo...so grab it.

One of these, a mere £12 and change above your £250. It's a 'daily deal' deal though, so no telling how long the offer stands.

Acer have now removed the DVD drive and if you really need the drive you can pick up an external DVD drive from around £15-£20

Nothing exciting about that 'deal'.
