300 euro laptop?

ripcord · 2009-01-20 12:01:14

Hi folks, Not sure if this has been asked before, and it is really a request, but I was just wondering if anyone knew where to get a budget laptop for around 300 euro? Not worried about processor or hard drive - but 2Gb of RAM would be nice. It seems that retailers are keeping the price of budget laptops to ~500 or 600…

Hi folks,

It seems that retailers are keeping the price of budget laptops to ~500 or 600 euro, and just introducing better processors and more RAM (3 or 4Gb of RAM is too much for casual users!)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Just got a flyer in the door this morning from Dell and they have a fairly decent laptop for €299
