Don't even know how to use topcashback!!

 

register with them or quidco or other sites, they list offers, you visit the lenovo site via their cashback site and boom, you get money back

These two would certainly meet your needs Jim and are way under budget. Both only have 128GB SSD but an external HD is dirt cheap.

 

The Dell only has 4GB RAM but Win 7 downgrade option too.

I've just bought that same Acer laptop for the wife from Tesco. 8GB RAM, 2TB hardrive.  A bag and BT mouse.

Seems like it's out of stock now. I got it on a black Friday deal for £299, more or less 48hr free delivery.
