What spec? It might be fine for web browsing and office. A bit more ram, new HDD and fresh windows install and you'll be good to go.Unknown brand
If it can run vista, it'll run better with windows 7, and as nick said a new HDD/RAM/Both may well revitalise it.
For instance my work laptop is a 2.0Ghz core 2duo from 2007, earlier this year we upgraded all laptops to SSDs and 4gb ram with windows 7, and it's like a new machine.

bog standard Dell + extended warranty.
For 'day to day web browsing' you won't notice the difference between a £300 PC and £2000 PC. Even the bottom end PC's are exceptionally powerful these days.
I found that buying a laptop is cheaper overall and you can
rig up the old screen for a dual screen setup.
You can get a good 15" laptop for about £350.
If you want it small then this one ... £408 including Win7 Home 64 OS.
