Need a cheap laptop quickly

[padgett]

I need a laptop quickly. I've killed our old Macbook Pro. I'm trying to learn to code so need a spare machine whilst I sort the Mac.

Can't afford more than £150 and need it posting to Spain. Has anyone got anything half decent they might do me a deal on?

Thanks!!

Nobody got a laptop they want to move on......?

Don't want to risk eBay...

Nothing suitable on amazon.es ?

Guess you don't need anything particularly powerful.

How decent does it need to be? I might have a Thinkpad T61p that's a good few years old but is a well specified Core 2 Duo

There are plenty of respectable IT recyclers on Ebay where you'll easily get a Dell i5 within your budget.

I would imagine at least one of them would be prepared to ship to Spain.

What are you coding with?

If you are learning objective c or swift for Apple then you will need another Mac. For C# then you need Windows (ok so there is some .Net happening on Linux these days but...). If it is just some scripting like PHP then you can get away with anything that will run a lightweight text editor, even a Chromebook would do.
