Would strongly suggest staying away from ebay, as you generally have no comeback at all. I bought a laptop from ebay, which went wrong after 2 months. And theres no comeback, as theres no warranty.

You could possibly get a laptop for £50, maybe even £100 less, but if it goes wrong you have lost all the money. I cannot recommend buying new enough, or at the very least one which your sure has a warranty.
 
Yes, always check for warranty ...

I got a shock when I bought a laptop on eBay from the US. Worked fine for a day then the switch which turned the screen backlight on stopped working. Luckily after chatting to Compaq it turned out the US warranty was valid in the UK and they quickly sent a courier to collect and returned it after a couple of days - quite impressed actually. :)
 
Pissy Wierld do stock units with XP, but not every branch. My local does not, but the branch my son visited near Birmingham had plenty on display. Dont ask which one, he forgot to tell me before going back to his mothers, I suspect it was Merry Hill.

Alternatively you can do what I did, wipe it and install TinyXP.
 
Thanks for all the help guys...

After plenty of foraging i settled on THIS one..and near enough budget for what you get. :)

Had a good look through the 'laptops direct' site and narrowed it down to 2..but can't argue with the spec of this..and good ol' Mr 'Butler' found it cheaper on Amazon.. SWEET

Just removing the chaff and setting it up now..groan :crap: but loving it really..lol
