  Good deal, but the core2duo is only a tenner more.

  Good price for a basic system but please note that if you are a regular user this is unlikely to last a year (I've gone through 2 in 14 months via work)

  Both are dual core, Core 2 Duo is faster though, for those looking to Hackintosh http://www.osxlatitude.com/ will be of help.
  
  I'm not sure of OS X Lion has been hacked onto them yet, but you'd need a Core 2 Duo to even try, it won't work on the Core Duo range (same for actual Mac's)

  I was going to get a laptop from these guys but ended up being cheaper on ebay.

  Thats their generic claim across all grade B machines - I bought a ThinkPad X60s that came with an 8 cell battery and I can get 3 hours from it.

  Went for the C2D early this week, just got the dispatch email this morning. Only bought to muck around with hackintosh as for battery life its only another £16 on Amazon for the 6 cell.
  
  I would have gone for one of the many i5 deals on here since, if had waited though...

  Still good for basic office work / web browsing, although an upgrade to 2GB and maybe Windows 7 would be useful. It will probably struggle with HD videos. It even has Gigabit Ethernet, so you could use it as a file server - although eSata is sadly missing. Great price, too.

  Ordered the HP nc4400 grade C
  
  With T7200 it sounds like a great deal to me.

  Just a word of caution. I purchased a laptop B grade from SCH , it came without charger and the lid looked like it had been stood on. Also they packaging left a lot to be desired. It seems it is pot luck if you get a good one or a piece of crap. On the other hand it is a decent laptop for the price.

  I'm sure you know, but Grade C are sold as 'non-working, for spares only'.

  Yes. I understand that. I made the decision after seeing comments here from other people purchasing the grade C computers.

  You're gonna need to spend some time and money on that machine to get it working 100%

  Yeah, need to find a harddisk and a charger at least.

  I use a D620 at work every day and can confirm that the 1hr battery life isn't far wide of the mark. If you're on wifi you're lucky to get that. It's a relatively new (genuine) battery in mine too, in case anyone was wondering.

  The laptop battery that comes with these machines are used. I think you are better to get a replacement battery instead.

  That's bad luck :(
  
  Mine came really well packaged but the battery was not working and only had 1Gb of RAM ( was supposed to have 2).
  Rang their customer services, very apologetic and said they would send me a new battery and RAM.....a few days later both turned up well packaged again.
  
  Excellent customer service in my opinion.
