Need a cheap Laptop ... Any Ideas?

Jbenekeorr · 08-14-2007, 08:18 PM

I need a cheap laptop for school, it doesn't need to be able to do much, only handle office '03 and be wireless enabled, anything up to £350, not much of a budget i know, but does anybody have any ideas where i can buy from or what i can buy? Many Thanks, James

Welcome to computer forum.

now-adays you can get a laptop cheeply. i only know american dollers so dont know the conversion but most computers are cheep. However if you get a cheep computer. it will come with vista. and if you get a cheep one it may still only have 512 mb of ram and that will not run vista so you may want to go back to xp. i know dell still has xp for sell on 1 or two of there laptops. i would check there.

Thanks very much for your help, my spelling isn't too good either, it takes me several attempts to write stuff!

you could try dell or hp

their prices tend to be cheap on their entry-models
