I've bought a few Zoostorm laptops from eBuyer. They brand them as eBuyer Special Value or similar. They are manufactured by Clevo and are normally pretty well built. I used one for about 3 years after my trusty Dell M60 workstation died. It had a lot to live up to but performed very well with Ubuntu then Mint on it. My daughter has one which gets severe abuse and is still works okay, although I have put at least 3 new screens in it for her!
That's good to hear. I bought one back in July (for a penny short of 270 UKP). I think it was a bargain given the spec (Intel Pentium DC B980 2.4GHz, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 15.6" display, DVDRW). My only beef is that the keyboard is a bit "clicketty". Mine wasn't "pink".
