If I were buying I'd get the middle one £428 .. huge spec for the money and reputable firm, offer ends at midnight but they always have one offer or another on, but £400'ish is spot on to get someting worthwhile

Have just seen this at pc world, would this be better than the dell one? ADVENT 7110 Laptop - ADVENT 7110 INTEL PENTIUM M 735A PROCESSOR 1.70GHz LAPTOP

have been using and recommending Dells for years. On one right now at work, my third dell laptop here, and have one at home, plus a desktop. Good build, generally good service, reputable name brand. Advent is an unknown to me. Specs alone do not equal high cost performance, but in this case a good track record counts more I would think. Dell must have a good name in Europe as well as here in Japan as I noted many posters suggesting that brand.

Looks like I should go for Dell then

dell are advertising laptops from 299 + vat.... a great price but make sure you dont get 'tricked' into all the other stuff if you dont want/ need it such as home support etc. that racks up the prices hugely. as a basic purchase its hard to beat in my view
