Cheap (ish) Lappy
Can anyone recommend a cheap (ish) laptop. A friend wants one, doesn't have a fortune to spend unfortunately. I haven't a clue what to look for in a laptop, so will welcome any suggestions.
Budget is £300 - £400
Thanks.

She needs it for her daughters homework, and internet use for homework research, nothing too demanding really.
Probably the odd game, again, nothing too demanding.

Any thoughts on this one ? Worth the money ? I might be able to persuade her to shell out extra, if it's worth it.

Re: Cheap (ish) Lappy
Looks like a pretty good deal. A bit light on memory, but fine for homework/browsing etc. Cheaper than any of the Novatech systems (when you add XP) and has the HP brand. I would probably go for it.

That's what I was thinking too, thanks for your input.

Well she sent me a link to a Dell if you take off the support costs Dell always seem to automatically add for you, it's just under £400. Not knowing about processors on these lappy's, am not sure how the Sempron on the Dell matches up against the Centrino on the HP lappy. Any ideas ?
