For what it is worth I went to Laptops Direct   www.laptopsdirect.co.uk
And paid a little under £250 inc. delivery for an Emachine as a laptop
to convert myself to linux.  Though the first one didn't match their
specified criteria and was sent back this replacement is very
satisfactory as a Grade A1 unit(memory:1.7 GiB. Processor: AMD Athlon
2650e DVD). They do netbooks too.
