Okay, not nearly as cheap but not bad at £250 inc. VAT and delivery is
this machine:

Of interest (and tenuously on topic!) is the fact that this price is
achieved in part by lack of an OS (see the drop-down). Disappointing
that no free of cheap alternative is offered, but heartening to see that
you are not obliged to buy MS.
