You won't go too far wrong with this one Digga:

Get it with XP as Vista is still very buggy

Spike' I bought an HP6735s in January albeit with a higher spec than that one and would say that there are better machines, the HP6735s is a 'Business' laptop and for some reason the carcass and general build quality isn't as nice as their Home or Multimedia range, the LCD screen is pretty basic as well, if I was to buy again I would spend a couple of quid more and go for a mid range Sony Vaio

I'll pass the info on....

She was thinking of a 'netbook' from Aldi @ near that price.!!!

If you want to buy a laptop from a shop then Comet stock Compaq. These are made by HP and have a similar internal spec. to the ones at Ebuyer. Prices seem competitive too. Compaq is used by HP as a retail brand, so they may be less utilitarian in their styling (as Dickie mentions).

My lad has been really happy with his Acer Gemstone laptop. Very pretty for the arty farty film studies student. It's been very reliable in the 18 months he's had it.
This one from Tesco looks a nice spec http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.200-3481.aspx and significantly cheaper than laptopsdirect.co.uk
