Any thing with a reasonable spec that will run XP or later.

A colleague has just bought a budget Lenovo (G550) from Amazon for £260.
It's a superceded model, but spec is good enough to run Win 7 OK, at
least for web/mail/office- SWMBO has one and it's fine. The G560 that
replaced it is £278.

There's a bloke in Hitchin that does s/h laptops - I'll have a look for his
number.

My A1181 Macbook is still getting a regular flogging. I have started
running Win 7 on it in parallels and it was slowing down. This made me
happy because it gave me the excuse to buy a new one. But I threw 2gb
more ram in it and it is humming along again. It is looking like I
won't need another upgrade for at least a year. DOH!!!! They can be
had on ebay for fairly cheap.
