These days it is rare and hard to see a laptop under th €500 mark, unless its specifications are below average which happens to be the case with the Endeavor NJ1000, the new laptop from Epson.

So, if your laptop budget is really low and your expectations aren't high, you are probably interested in a machine that should be good enough for browsing the internet and using Microsoft Office applications like Word, Excel and probably Paint Brush (forget Photoshop). The NJ1000 is what you need, it has a basic configuration:

• Celeron M410


• 256MB of RAM


• 40GB hard-disk


• CD player (no DVD)


• 15-inch XGA Display


• ATI Radeon 200M

You will get all this for less than €470 :)
