Cheapish laptop needed

[Pint6x]

My eldest son (aged 15) is getting to the stage where he needs his own 'pooter for school stuff.. A laptop would be preferable, but we don't need the latest whizzy spec - just something that will run various MS products and provide internet connection so he can download various porn, as well as a CD writer drive.

Any recommendations ? (for laptop that is, not pornographic websites)

Just the usual research and caveat emptor

I was recommended by someone on this forum to try:
http://www.axionsolutions.co.uk

They supply factory recon laptops, often still in manufacturers warranty.

I bought an HP/Compaq that's been excellent and my friends two daughters, in a similar situation to your son, bought one each too.

In each case the Laptops were current models and less than half what they were on PC World's display for.

Got one new from Dell for around £300 for my mum. Bluetooth and WiFi enabled and enough oomph to run Office and the like.

Took a while to remove all the 'bundled' stuff you don't want and a bit of a Google to find how to remove an error message which came up after the 'uninstall bundled guff' uninstaller failed to work properly but it was all straight forward as 'they all do that sir' Whole thing took half an hour.

That aside it's been a reliable little thing which even my mum hasn't been able to break.
