best bet would be to b8uy 2nd hand - you'd get a really top spec laptop for that price 2nd hand. just make sure it comes with xp and wipe it clean yourself. also, if possible, bring someone who knows lappies to check it over for you.

in the new price range you'll be very lucky to find an xp machine as microsoft push vista onto OEM machines.

You can get a decent spec Toshiba from Currys for less than £500.

It will probably come with Vista though, so you'll need a copy of XP to stick over the top.
