Sturdy/well built laptop ?

[Brizzles]

Looking for a laptop capable of taking a few knocks and drops ( like falling of the sofa - nothing too major )

Just for basic browsing, looking at photos etc..

Not Windows 8 !

Anyone recommend anything, max budget £250.

Thanks.

Get a second hand Dell D430 for £100-£120. Old now, but perfectly capable. I run Win7, 1.33Ghz C2D, 2GB and a 120GB HDD, 12.1" magnesium-alloy chassis. Great for browsing on the sofa, and really small and sturdy so you can chuck it about with one hand. I've bought loads for friends and family and they all love them.
