Sorry 'bout this all but my associate is desperate to buy a laptop......right now.
She wants to spend round the Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£500 mark and that should include a printer as well

Nothing too high tech, mainly to be used for word processing.............any ideas? Off the top of your heads like..........

Thanks m8, do you know that's a good deal or did you just have a quick scout around?

Got one for my son and it's very good!

I purchased it from Misco (no longer in stock) and it was a few pounds cheaper so you may find a better price if you look around......

Never used them myself but were today recommended to me by a colleague. Been looking for a second hand laptop for my sister to use for Uni and some of the IBM and Compaq Pentium 3 systems seem to be good value.

For cost total in cheapness this you cannot go wrong for, I know someone who bought this for there son to mess with as his first laptop.

Very good ( for its price and would do word processing all day long )

Evesham do have laptops which are more powerful and have Wireless built in and Intel Celeron Processors as a minimum but they are over her budget.

CLICKY

Novatech have some excellent value systems I have even bought one myself for a present for someone, and I had to use it to remove Windows Xp Home and put Pro on it for the parent of who I bought one for. Mainly they are well within your budget.
