My brother gets his kids second hand Thinkpad's from eBay, about £100 to £150. Provided you choose the right model they are built like a brick shit house which makes them great for kids and even one a few years old should be more than powerful enough.

I got Netbooks for both my teenage daughters and I would recommend them over a laptop, use less power, longer battery life and small and light. Surprisingly PCWorld do a good deal at the mo http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/emachines-em350-06487019-pdt.html£189 but brand new with a year warranty. |

For £300 that is an absolute steal. To be honest if you are going to spend less than £300 you will not get the quality, unless you go for a netbook which you have said you don't want.
