They're well outside your previous budget unless you buy the used one.

i lik acer laptops, gf had one. best advice would be to pop over to local currys/comet/pcworld, see if they are clearing anything out.

I think it looks pretty good tbh, cant complain when you want something fast on a budget though.

Also if anyone decides to say 'Acer's are shite' Ive had my boggo standard Acer for going on 3 years now and it hasnt put a foot wrong, not had to format it in all that time and never runs slow, apart from when its held back by its own performance :)
