7dayshop.com have some refurbished Acer Aspire One notebooks at £179.99 which might fit the bill. They're nice little machines - I have a similarly specced Lenovo Edge for mobile use, and they happily run Xubuntu. I would find a cheap 64GB or 128GB SSD to improve battery life if you were going to be out for any length of time.
