Any recommendations?
I bought a used Thinkpad X200 before I came over here to Česká Republika. Cost me under £150. Nice screen, great keyboard, trackpoint pointing device. 4GB RAM, 120GB HD -- modest but enough.
Morgan's have some cheap Thinkpads -- including the follow-on model to my Core 2 Duo one: http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/c/512/IBM-Lenovo/
Seriously, IMHO, Thinkpads are *the* best PC-compatible notebook/laptops there are. Get a used one so you don't get the stupid chicklet keyboard and fused buttonless trackpad.
Thanks Liam, looks interesting. Would you approve of this one:-

It's the closest in size to the little Acer and thus would be nearest to what we want I think. Is the "Quick & Unique Mini Joystick Control" what you were talking about?
