    Second hand laptop or PDA?

    I will have about 200-250 quid to spend on a second hand laptop or PDA in about 2 weeks. It will mainly be used for mp3's, word proc and surfing/msn.It will also mainly be used at sixth form during my free periods. I will eventually set up a wireless network in my house but that will have to come later. So what do you think? A second hand laptop or a PDA?

    You can buy a decent brand new PDA for £250... Ipaq H2210...

    You'll get a laptop for £250 but it won't be very quick
