    Not sure you can get one that cheap, well, new, anyways.
    Anything €300 and under is usually netbook territory.

    That said, I did see a 17'' Advent Vista laptop for €350 in Currys/PCWorld over Xmas. Probably not the best make/model/spec though.

    This one here? http://www.powercity.ie/?par=10-30-343875

    Seems ok for the price, should be faster than most netbooks.

    I'm interested in something similar for the OH but this one has no webcam.

    What would be a good price/make for a household laptop for wireless internet browsing, watching RTE Player, and skyping? I would've thought the netbooks would be a bit small for regular viewing?

    thats not a reason not to buy it.
    you can buy a webcam from as little as 10 euro and clip it onto the laptop
