Dell Inspiron N270 1GB - ?195 at Tesco

Reduced down from ?249 already, sure it's not as nice as the 10" screened version but if you're on a tight budget you won't find it cheaper (it's still ?249 on the Dell website)

Thanks for the heads up, I've just gone out and bought one from the local Asda.

Me too. Typing on it now. Cheers!
My second Advent 4211c (in as many weeks) gave up earlier today and will be going back to PC World on Tuesday. This Acer One is a good replacement at 1/2 the price.

To the untrained eye which is the better deal. I presume you can put XP on either. It's for the gf so linux is a bit of a no no.

I can't say which is the better, but if you're concerned about linux because your GF isn't very tech savvy, I wouldn't worry. I got the Acer for my wife and the linpus lite OS is very, very simple.
