Dell Vostro 1310?- business grade, should have decent compatibility- except dell wireless which is most likely Broadcom. Remember you need to add VAT onto the price Dell state on their website, the exvat price should wind up about £250, so that gives you a bit for a couple of small upgrades. Remember to give dell a call to see if you can haggle a bit off. EEE 900 - now £289 from play.com I have the 701 and am very happy with it, may be a bit small though.
Most laptops around this price are 15.4's probably due to economy of scale. The HP 530 is a nice machine, ebuyer have it for £279. Not sure about Linux compatibility. Matt. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
