Question is, what is the best place to get one from?

I've always bought Acer for myself and on behalf of my parents. I can't
remember exactly where from, but probably Misco. I just search through the
lists and buy the cheapest one with a DVD writer and WiFi. The last one (a
few months back) was under the 800 quid mark, inclusive. Paying more just
gets you smaller (or a pointless few hundred MHz on the CPU). The spec is
pretty excellent to begin with.

I can seriously recommend the Acers. They are cheaper than alternative
makes, but are high quality, all mod cons and have proper touchpads (with
software for instant scrolling, etc) rather than those horrible unusable
twiddlesticks.

I would like to thank everyone for their comments, they were most useful.
It has been decided to get 4 of the Acer 1362WLC Laptop from
www.ebuyer.co.uk , that way, we can all help each other out.
Thanks again.
