    B&M

    Acer in Argos i3 350, 320GB Harddrive, 3GB RAM, 3 USB, 1 HDMI, decent webcam €480 and in stock. Good reviews. Same one in Amazon is €563.

    Will you need the HDMI, it's for connecting up to TVs? If not then this Toshiba is €30 cheaper with i3 350, 320GB Harddrive, 4GB RAM, 2 USB, webcam not as good.

    Online

    Samsung i3 370, 320 Harddrive,3GB RAM, 3 USB, 1 HDMI, €460ish delivered.

    Toshiba i3 350, 320 Harddrive, 4GB RAM, 2 USB, No HDMI, good battery. €450 delivered.

    Check reviews if buying an online one. It'll be a pain if you don't like it when it comes.

    Something like the above will do you years. i3, 3 or 4GB RAM and windows 7 64 BIT.

    Thanks a mill, would need the HDMI. Not a big fan of Samsung?
