Im a Student (Wheyyy!) looking for a cheap-ish laptop.

Im looking to spend around £400

Ive found a laptop for £400 which has
600mhz pentium,
10Gb,
128 RAM,
Cd writer
and network card
with Win ME installed

This a good deal?

Im just not sure how much laptops are worth etc etc.

I just want to use it for Work and Internet, i dont play games on the laptop.

Cheers for any help!

look in Micro-Mart (fortnightly mag) there are loads of trade and private second hand laptops for sale in there.

Tried Loot ? I'd rather buy one face to face rather than via ebay.
