Staples do a Fujitsu Siemens with 3gb of RAM for around 350 quid at the moment I believe. They're decent laptops (I have one, cost me 380 last year with just 1gb RAM!) and I'm your age.

In fact the one I have is now available for £255, shows how much improvement you see in them over a year.

Their Fujistu Siemens range can be found here:

Matey, try www.ebuyer.co.uk - quality site. And far cheaper than comet/PC world etc.

1024Mb surely.....:D

I got my son a laptop from Tesco Direct. Bought through quidco and got a bit off that price aswell.

Does the job and is perfectly good enough for most things. Alot of people just use "office" or equiv and the t'internet.

This looks pretty good! Didn't get round to getting mine at the weekend, and I might go for this instead. A little less memory (still loads for my requirements), but £140 cheaper!

Called Staples and they've got lots in stock apparently. Price is £349.99

Cheers for the info.
