Heres an Acer one for 399 in Comet - DVD-writer, 256mb, 40gb, 1.5GHz

One of my mates bought some pikey laptop a few years ago however, and just as well he paid the extra for the 3year warranty - its been back for a new screen twice, amongst other things!

Isnt always sensible to get the cheapest you can get your hands on.

Advent ones are known for going wrong??? I've had my Advent lappy for nearly 5 years, only ever had 1 problem! and I fixed that myself. The ribbon cable needed replacing for the backlight on the screen. Apart from that its never ever had a problem. I'm about to buy a new laptop, but only because this thing is soooo outdated now.
