Is it Morgan that do refurbed computer gear? I haven't used them myself and I think they may have come in for some criticism on here, but I don't expect they're much worse than average.

Or try a computer fair?

Has it got to be a lapdog? A full sized box could be much cheaper and is upgradeable cheaply...

I already have 4 bloody boxes!

About to buy a spanking new dell for home so that will be 5. The problem is I need my accounts and email at both the office and home now.

Hey Charlie I've just found this...

(...I'm no connection to the seller or anything, but perhaps this would do?)

I got my dad a refurbished laptop from a place just down the road from here in Leeds.

www.itdealers.co.uk

They have a pretty fast turnover, so if there's nothing you like then it's worth coming back in a few days time. Only a 30 day warranty, but to be honest that is when things are most likely to fail.
