That laptop from ebuyer is a barebones system. i.e it doesn't come with a hard drive, processor etc.

If you want a really cheap laptop you are better going for something like this :

This laptop will be fine for everything as long as you don't expect to play games on it.

Personally I wouldn't buy a secondhand one when you can get a brand new laptop for under £400. Bear in mind that old Pentium 2 IBM Thinkpads sell on ebay for £200!
