OK had some prices back but TBH they go over the £300 mark.

You'd be better off checking out what's on offer on the eBuyer website (link posted by me a few posts up).

Take a look on HUKD, there is a currys refurb deal on there for a i3 6gb ddr3 500gb hd for 259. I got one last year, come pretty much brand new, 12 month warranty free. My girlfriend has just got a slightly lower spec for 229.

Yeah they are all fully boxed, basically factory refurbished laptops from Toshiba themselves so it's a bit like buying a refub Apple product - not really any difference between that and the new item as they replace anything that's defective or missing.

I could send you a CD containing office if needed, don't think you'll get a laptop, OS, Office for £300.

eBuyer would be my suggestion, look for something with atleast an i3 processor and 4gb ram.

By the way it's not so much the deal I'm looking for its what laptop would be best for her needs??

Software, speed and memory wise?
Deffo needs to have office on it!

Kerry take a look at eBuyer, they've got some good deals:

I can also get refurbished Toshiba laptops - you get 12 month warranty with them and they are pretty much like brand new (ask Robbo, I sold him one recently for his parents).

You'd have to wait until Tuesday though for me to find out pricing, but I think it's pretty much within your price range (and they aren't shit spec laptops either).

I thought you had Apple branded computer products (iMac/iPad)?

Or am I confusing you with someone else on here? :o

Looks quite cool


If purchasing from eBay then find out who the company is selling the item and warranty info (who's it with, what does it cover etc etc).
Tbf unless i was after something specific or secondhand/B-Stock, eBay would be the last resort.

Kerry - Sainsbury's don't carry a huge Dell range but they do a few ok models. And if you see something you like do a quick Google for reviews before purchasing.

Cool thanks I know a bloke works at sainsbury and gets 20% :D

Have a look at something like an Acer 5749 or a Dell Q15R. If going for a Dell then it's worth seeing if you know anyone that works for Tesco/ASDA/Sainsbury's as you can use the staff discount (usually 10%) and ClubCard etc.
