Cheap laptop, and portable scanner

Departed · 11th February 2008, 19:40

Wanted, or suggestions where to look.

I'm after a cheap laptop. Needs USB and sound, CD drive would be enough. Want something to take on hols along with a photo scanner.

Also after aforementioned scanner: something to do photos so smaller than A4. Suggestions?

New or second hand, depends what I can get.

Min spec win 2K but pref XP.

needs USB so I connect scanner, and reasonable battery life would be helpful.

The X200 is interesting. PM me with the sort of money you'd be looking for.

Thanks for all the responses so far.

Looks like I've sourced the laptop from empsburna.

Any suggestions for a scanner?
