Here's the cheap lap top market

If you look at the ?200 ones though, they're a 1gb of ram, and 30gb memory

I know you don't need it, but you'll be buying something you can't sell on really, and the battery won't be new

Going that extra ?150-?200, you'll get a 2gb-3gb ram machine which will be impressively faster, and probably between 120gb-250gb hard drive

Plus, batteries in newer laptops are better, old laptops drained the power out of batteries due to the mains being plugged in. New ones block the mains going into the battery, meaning the battery lasts a lot longer
