If you could manage to stretch your budget just a slight bit more you could get a Dell Vostro with AMD Mobile Athlon X2 or Turion X2, 2GB Ram, 160GB hard drive, DVD writer and 15.4 inch screen. Dell are currently offering free delivery on laptops over £299 + VAT. I think the one I spec'd up for a colleague at work was just over £370, I know a tad more but if you can get it then it's worth it. I think that had Vista Business too because he wanted to downgrade to XP Pro. Otherwise you should be able to get a single core Athlon Vostro for around £300 I would expect although performance in Vista will be um... slow. (Although you can upgrade the memory on there which will speed things up). Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
