I was looking myself last week - Misco had some reasonable offers on Tosh (my current favourite).

Spec depends on usage...

This is the one i was thinking of.....
I don't know about the 2 different processors, as to which is better.( HP or Tosh )
The use is going to be running Powerpoint, Word etc... and Internet access, plus basic High school IT stuff.
