Why she even wanted it is a puzzle to me! PC at mine & at her parents. KIDS !

Only possible reason not to go down this route is location- It suits me - but its in my office, Guess she wants to be in the lounge

Have got it thanks but never use it !, If Wii goes to a other room then using it for I player is also an option. Again never have bothered.

Thanks again guys if she wants to use her laptop for what ever reason, she can be wired. Look out for bumps on head scratched hands etc. I tend to hide wired sockets etc

Once again thanks for all your help.
