  • Brand new maybe, but will be very low spec in todays age.

    2nd hand could pick you up a respectable one, for well under £200 if that's all you want it for.

    I picked up a good Dell off eBay for £130, battery life was the only poor thing with it.

    Since then work have given me a hi spec MacBook Pro, so it sits there barely used now.
