Answer 1 :
I would recommend the Asus EEE PC. Brand-new, it's around $300. Fantastic laptop, small and compact. Only problem is that it runs on a Linux operating system (sometimes this will not work for you). No CD drive.
Answer 2 :
Do not get the EEE pc. I've got one and I'd much rather have a laptop. EEE pc's are crap, they're for browsing the internet, and crash extremely often which pisses everyone off especially if the document isn't saved. And the person above is wrong because I am on my EEE pc now and it's got Windows XP, and on the sticker it even says 'Designed for Microsoft Windows XP' For a laptop try looking at Amazon.co.uk, I'm sure you can find some second hand ones. A Dell is a good choice but I'd have a Sony or an LG, but Dell's are just as good. Good luck and I hope you find what you want :)
Answer 3 :
I think that eBay is a great choice. As long as the seller does international shipping, has great feedback so you know you won't get ripped off, and is willing to answer questions about the item you are good to go. You can find some really great products there. Another I reccomend is eCost.com. They sell refurbished PC's but they are still great and you can get them for low prices. I am not sure if they ship to the U.K, but I got my pc from there and they are great.
