That's going to be hard now. At that price range, you're looking at something that will either be second hand, or some sort of Netbook.

BAM!

Pretty decent spec for that price, build quailty might be a different thing altogether.. dunno how reliable acers tend to be but seems perfect to me..

Id recomend having a look around that site, some pretty decent machines at very good prices. The site tends to be slated around here but personally ive never had any probs. Ordered 3/4 laptops and never a single problem, each arriving within 2/3 days aswell..

Goog luck with your search anywho

EDIT: Having had a better look around the site ivr found afew better toshibe laptops for around the €400 mark, you should take a look yourself!

Check other threads about laptopsdirect before you buy. They get slated here as stated above.

You would get a decent size off the shelf system with a celeron chipset for under e500. I would sooner buy from Tesco than Laptops Direct. :pac:

At least you can bark over the counter if something goes wrong.

Their prices are not that good!!!

Why would you want to buy from them?

i like this with a 17' screen...
