Toshiba Tecra 9100 can be had for about £150 - £200 on the bay.

For £350 the Toshiba Tecra M1 would be my first choice. Great laptop with all the modcons. Wireless, Bluetooth, Infrared, loads of USB ports, Firewire, DVD/CDRW etc.

hope this helps

yeah they're not bad mate.

Obviously the Sony Vaio laptops are quite nice but the 9100 and M1 should be sufficient for what you want it for.

Haven't really looked into Dell that much so can't comment I'm afraid.
