Hi

i am looking to get a used laptop for someone for christmas but am on a tight budget (for a laptop) so need to look at used.

i havent much clue on laptop hardware so i dont know if this is even possible.

Decent looks and light (thin base, basically not cheap looking)
good screen14-15 probably
1366 min screen res
OS windows 7
no games
office based tasks
web browsing
decent speakers if possible
video playback of anything without issue
would also be looking at items with warranty so im guessing 3 yrs old max

looking for used with value of about 200

if this isnt possible, ill rethink the idea
 
the only machines you will get warranty with and even with a new price is a netbook, they can be brought from 150-200, but probably not you were looking for.

yeah net book is just too small for one size fits all.
besides theres always household insurance i guess
 
If you Google "Dell refurbished", about the fourth result down should be a GB company that sell refund Dell lappies with limited warranties, some in your price range.
