I am on a budget as most are 350-450. What can i get for this? I dont require massive processing power I guess. Mostly used for microsoft office, maybe some SPSS, web surfing etc. No gaming.

Suggestions welcome?

Only looking on my phone but resolution in all those seems pretty poor.

I could have a look around later but won't be for a few hours.
