Cheap notebook computer

[SilentJOB]

Hello

I need to buy a cheap netbook computer for Internet and word processing usage.

I'm really looking for something very basic and reliable.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I bought a cheap new toshiba from ebay about 4 months ago - was 350 including postage - only had 1gb (too slow) but upgraded t to 4gb for a further 16.00. Very happy with it. One thing I am pleased about is to stick with the brand - its not much different in operation to my last toshiba so no big learning curve. ( I bought my last on 6 yeasr ago & still using that too)

You said Notebook and then Netbook. They are not the same thing, so which do you mean?

A notebook is the same as a laptop.

A netbook is a smaller device with smaller screen, smaller keyboard and no CD/DVD Drive.

If you mean a laptop/notebook then Tesco/Sainsburys and others do deals for laptops about £300 or so.

There are many models to chose from at that price so difficult to suggest just one or you.

How much are you looking to spend?

Hello again
Sorry for the confusion, I should have proof read my question throughly before posting. Thanks to VHG for spotting my mistake and to bondgirl007 and Squitty for their answers too.

I did mean netbook, not notebook.
I am on a tight budget and am not looking to spend more than £150.
Therefore I am probably looking a reconditioned or secondhand netbooks.
Any suggestions on what to look at and where to buy would be appreciated.
I will be using the netbook to fill in online job application forms.
Thanks once again.
