    laptop

    for all the geeks out there, im looking for a cheap laptop, just to generally surf the web, play a few games of championship manager and d/w on, i can get a cheap external hard drive for any d/w stuff so not a worry on that front.

    I would get a netbook but would like the dvd drive for games etc.

    So am looking for suggestions on what i can get and for up to £300 (lower if poss) i have a work laptop i can use but its slow due to all the files and work programes i use.

    Cheers..

    try having a look on www.ebuyer.com

    They are very good on prices, but if you are after a new laptop for under £300 there isn't much choice these days as they tend to be notebooks under £300 and laptops from £300

    Any suggestions on spec? as said i dont mind going for a netbook as will only be surfing on the net and d/w but onto external hard drive. how do others deal with the no cd drive on a netbook? is the only way an external cd player or do most use zip files or memory sticks etc??

    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/234137

    Most netbooks seem to be 1.6ghz proc and 1gig mem which is ok for basic browsing
