Second hand laptops
Can somebody recommend a reputable company in the UK (preferably NW England) who sell reconditioned laptops. I'm wanting something I can use on trips just for general correspondence, spreadsheets, emails. Also what kind of minimum spec do you recommend for this kind of work and how much such I expect to pay? Thanks in advance....

Unfortunately both down south, but at least an indication of pricing.

If the link doesn't show as one line then paste it into the address bar of your browser.
drop the guy a line and see if he has a shop you can visit.

Couple of pointers (based on recent experience)
- Make sure it's not nicked
- Get an invoice/receipt.
Why? If you need to contact the support dept. of the manufacturer, i.e. HP in my case, then proof of purchase is essential.
Moral: don't offer to help someone with their PC when you know that someone is likely to have dabbled in the black market.
