Take a look at these laptops (I am assuming you are in the UK):

http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Acer_.../version-1.asp
http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Fujit.../version-1.asp

My personal pick of the two is the Acer.

That Acer is the best choice. It is an excellent Laptop from the look of the specs.

I have low-end Acer, and it runs really well. Who says you cant run windows on 256mb? lol.

Happy shopping.
