new or refurbished.
preferably somewhere that delivers.
bonus points for somewhere that does finance!

www.hp.com is the best place to buy a brand new laptop cheap. Overstock.com has laptops even cheaper, but they are mostly old and have scratches and dings in them.

Recommend Dell. Secondhand is not advised because of the limited lifespan of the batteries and because you may need the modern connections.
Refurbished come with a guarantee. There is a cheap (but not cheap enough) by mail order on the Internet.
I bought mine three years ago in a shop window for £100, but it has not got S-video connections, not powerful enough for XP, and the batteries worked for about an hour and then packed up entirely.

Hi - try dell.co.uk - best value laptops on the market. They do finance too. u may also want to consider the fuijitsu amilo at £599 from microanvika.co.uk - its a steal at the price, especialluy with a centrino dua processor

I bought my HP Laptop from COMET in December 2005 and thay have some good cheap offers every week, I have had no trouble with mine and that's where I would go if I wanted another one.

In Ireland it's Tesco - and you get clubcard points too. They might be worth a look in the UK.

Many good answers here, but I always start with http://www.pricewatch.com
This service scans the actual prices of hardware and software listed at many many stores and distributors...
Good luck!
