Guys i need 2x lappies for kids xmas pressies , nothing major just for them to wirelesly surf the net .

Total Budget £600 , must be wirless , 1gb of ram and Vista .

Was thinking of the basic vostros but £119 for postage is a joke .

A gateway one from Tescos ?

Any ideas glady welcome.

Ok Dell sent me a quote for 2 lappies , they told me on the phone that the Sempron was a load of balls and i should get the AMD version /

As requested please find below the quotation for the Dell system(s) you enquired about. I hope that this meets with your approval, if I can be of further
assistance please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
