Would anyone recommend me a machine around the price or is it better to go for this one?

With the EEE's I think you could get cheaper.

This looks nice though

probably more expensive i certainly recommend IBM's thinkpad range of notebooks which are top notch when it comes to usability and functionality (the x-seris are the portable laptops)

features
Traditionally black, ThinkPads feature innovations such as:

* Magnesium, carbon fiber reinforced plastic or titanium composite cases
* TrackPoint pointing device
* ThinkLight, an LED keyboard light at the top of the LCD screen
* Solidly constructed full-size keyboard
* Active Protection System, an accelerometer sensor which detects when a ThinkPad is falling and shuts the hard drive down to prevent damage
* Roll-cage design to eliminate motherboard flex
* Biometric fingerprint reader
* Client Security Solution, which improves security using a built-in TPM and facilitates deployment in corporate environment
* Drain holes to help reduce damages to the keyboard and components from an accidental spill

Thomas,

The thing is with laptops, if you pay £350 you don't get everything! All you get are the basics, if you want small, Dell Vostro, Packard Bell, Asus (EEE).

Or for 2nd hand you could get the top of the range Toshiba P series from 2003, with Harmon Kardon Speakers, and Built In Tv Tuner.

Perfect laptops only come in bigger prices £400 +

Check out E Machines Range, they should have something, or Gateway.

That looks great for what you do, however 8 years ago their build quality weren't that great. They probably have solved that issue now!
