1. i recently bought a asus laptop from ebuyer for £399 with xp, 120gb hd and 1.66 ghz duo core processor but its not great for games but does come with a 2 year warranty. If you want a cheap laptop under £500 that will play some of the latest games then get a Dell Vostro 1500. Cracking spec and Dell throw in xp for us vista haters for absolutely nothing!!!
