Laptop for ~ £400

[nydryl]

Looking to buy a Laptop for around £400! I know it isn't much but all I will be using it for is browsing, playing football manager, and watching the odd dvd. Minimum hard drive space as I will be using an external drive for storage.

Is my best bet to get a Vostro 1000, and are there any other options out there?

The Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile V5515 might be worth a look - seems a very good spec for the price (£400).

Thanks, looks pretty good. Was also looking at the Acer Extensa 5210?
