I agree, although I've never really been a big fan of Celeron chips... | |

yeah knew would be looking at 2nd hand. That's not a bad spec for £600 actually | |

£400 for a laptop, you're definitely looking at second-hand......and I'd be inclined to ask reason for sale. | |

That's what I was thinking. Cheers for ur help Dan. Just gotta find a decent laptop now for roughly £400 | |

To be honest, you could probably sell it for £400 with just the printer......just chuck the advert in all the local papers and similar......there'll be plenty of interest from people wanting to grab a computer for their kids for Xmas, but don't want to pay through the nose from PC World (because they don't know any better). | |

could do but like I said, applied to be holiday rep, and if I get the job, i'm gonna be out of the country for up to 9 months of the year, so the computer wouldn't be any use to me anyway. | |

Just to show how cheap computers are these days, if you know where to look, and don't mind a bit of "work" building it: | |

I was thinking around the £400 mark for my computer... then I can get a P3 800 laptop with DVD player which will be just fine as I only really use the internet and excel mostly. Don't use it for games at all. | |

Yeah but I've applied to be holiday rep, and if successful, then computer won't get used while I'm away anyway. And I'd rather have the convenience of using the laptop anywhere round the flat rather than being stuck at me desk. | |

I'm thinking of selling my current PC setup and getting a laptop instead. |
