Would a netbook do, some quite nice looking stuff about in your price range
Generally speaking, though, I would suggest that lower spec-better make would be better that higher spec-cheaper make, such as the Advent I bought
recently for £350 ish. Good spec, Windows 7, but if I don't run it on a laptop cooler it overheats and switches itself off, never had that
trouble with my Toshiba (rip)

Samaung R519 rated good budget laptop by the Gadget Show. Bought one for my wife for just over 300. It's fine, tho there seems to be several
different specs knocking around.

If your not in a hurry, keep an eye on http://www.wizmarkcomputers.co.uk/
Once you've found a good buy, take a note of the evalue code and buy through Quido to get ~4% cashback.

p.s. I can recommend the Vostro 1520, they're primarily build for business so are of better build quality than most.

This
Dell
Inspiron is a cracking deal IMO. 17" screen, 250GB drive, 3GB RAM and 2.1GHz Dual core CPU for £399. A 17" screen laptop might be
too big for your needs if you want maximum portability, but it would make a superb desktop replacement.
I wouldn't hang around though, these Dell deals often don't last long at all.
If you can stretch an extra £45, the Radeon HD4330 graphics upgrade would make sense if you want to use any graphically demanding applications or
games.

I just swapped my broadband and got a free one from curry's.
The new BB deal was also cheaper and came with a free phone line, that was a couple of years ago so need to repeat.
