Decide what you want to do with it before you buy it.
If you're going to be using it a lot on the move, then battery life, size and weight will be important.
If you're going to use it mainly in the same place, get as big as screen as you want.
Do you need a cd or dvd drive?
There is nothing wrong with this at under £300.

Think I'd rather pay a little more than that one ^ and get somthing that at least has a dual core celeron (preferably something without a celeron at all!)
But I do agree that Tesco do some good deals on laptops.
Thanks every one for your help.
It is mostly to use at home.
I have a desktop but have had a lot of problems with it and dont want to spend any more on it.
