Any good Laptop Deals UK

[langdoguk]

My Daughter is wanting a laptop for Christmas ,so I'm looking for a good deal , does anyone know where to get a new laptop at a good price , she's only young so it doesn't have to be top of the range ,I would like XP on it ,under £250 would be amazing (skint student here ) ,I have tried Santa but no reply yet

There are tons of choices around for about £350. However, I saw a pretty decent one at PC World a few weeks ago for £280. PC World aren't usually the cheapest so £250 might just be achievable.

Does the UK have some equivalent to a day after Thanksgiving sale that is here in the US?
That is usually the best time to buy a laptop here.

Cheers Langdoguk,

Taking a look right now. Pretty decent spec from what I can see.

Look for internet, the odd letter and a bit of photo editing and storage.

Thanks
