If you have a limited amount of money to spend on a portable computer, you've probably considered the many excellent mini laptops, or "netbooks", currently on sale. We've listed quite a few good deals lately, including some for as little as £150. But what if you need something with a bigger screen, a little more storage and more power?

Well, for just £250, you could buy this Dell Inspiron 1545 . With an Intel E2610 processor, 2GB of memory and a 160GB hard disk, it's significantly more powerful than a netbook, and ready to take on just about any everyday computer task. And, at £250, it's a bargain - and almost £100 cheaper than some netbooks we can think of. To find out how to get one at this low price, click the jump.
