[Archived] Best Value Laptop?

[RovertheHill]

Am looking to get a new laptop in the house. Don't want anything too fancy but something along the lines of

Dual Core (preferable)

2Gb RAM (must have)

>160Gb HDD

Vista Premium

Built-in webcam (preferable)

Anyone bought one recently or got any good places to look?

I've recently ordered a Dell laptop (my current Toshiba is getting on a bit) and it cost £350. It's not top of the range but I think its reasonable value for money. Spec:

Celeron Dual-Core Processor T1600 (1.66GHz, 1MB, 667MHz)

2048MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]

160GB (5,400rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive

Windows Vista

The only bit on your list it doent come with as standard is the webcam, I think there is an option to add one though.
