New Laptop
Hi, I'm being offered a Compaq Presario CQ61-425EA Celeron 900 2.2 GHz 2GB 160GB Windows 7 Home Premium for £317.25.
Does anyone know if this is (a) a decent laptop and (b) a good price.
Thanks.

Seems pretty new so not many reviews. One read:
Good points:
Excellent build quality, not too heavy considering it's size. Very fast and simple to use. Great value for money.
Bad Points:
It is slightly big to have sat on your lap, but if you're using it on a desk it's excellent! Doesn't come with backup/recovery discs, although this is standard for all laptops now.

It's not too bad.
the celeron is a budget processor but will be fast enough for most peoples uses.
2GB of ram is adequate
160GB hard drive is slightly small by todays standards, but again it's enough for most peoples use.
The price is about the going rate for that model so although it's not a great deal it's also not overpriced.
Compaq are part of HP now and you won't get a lot better after sales support than HP give.
All in all, it's a average spec laptop that will be fine for most peoples use at a price that is not over the top.
