Friend of mine is looking for a cheap laptop, just for web/word processing, wasnt to spend around £300 mark.
Anyone seen any good deals out there?

Yeah, looked on there thnks, not a bad deal on there for something basic but know sometimes you get a lot more less branded.
Aldi and such. Did get a cheap deal from Safeway a few years back as they were stopping selling computers, 600quid laptop for 260.

Tried ebuyer? Good value and service there: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/store/4…
I think if you're looking around £300 it's well worth going second hand from ebay. Be careful of course but you can get some good bargains and I'd probably opt for ones I could collect in person.

cheers jamble,
Have to say I'd probably be too cautious for ebay myself, unless it looked very credible indeed.
Cheers for the ebuyer link, I'll pass it on. Would've thought a lot of the high street store would be trying to move the pre Vista stuff out cheapish.

No worries, definitely be careful on ebay with everything but I only mention it as I bought a 17" powerbook last year on ebay with no trouble but I did go and collect it from the seller (ask before you bid if you can) and it was no problem :)

Yep, top call mith, many thanks will send him the link.
Had looked on the outlet area of the dell site and it was empty - must be putting it all on ebay...

Yeah I picked up a Latitude D820 for about 650. Gig of ram and a pretty decent graphics card included. There's a few scratches - and the keyboard inset isn't quite flush. Nothing you can't live with though.
