New Laptop for the Misses!

[Biggsy1]

Need some help from the IT boys on here.

Xmas is around the corner and her laptop should be in a museum, any tips or advice on a new laptop which does all the basics but not too expensive maybe up to £500 max.

I know this seems lazy but I don't wanna buy the first bargain I come across which ends up being shite.

Any help appreciated!

If it's only for internet music and watching videos buy the cheapest asus 15 inch laptop you can

500 is more than enough for a basic lappy mate check these, all top lappys imo.

Pick a few from there and post the ones you like here and im sure we can whittle it down for you. Acer and Asus are doing some great quality lappys now so keep an eye on them.

Get her a Tablet PC if it's only for t'internet and video/music.

Can pick them up for a few hundred quid but they look like they probably cost a bajillion pounds, and are funky cool. This type of thing:

Laptops are a bit 2010 get a tablet.

Cheers guys looking at them now, her current laptop has only 50g hard drive so anything with 500gb plus is a bonus!

We've looked into tablets but she loves typing so tablets maybe not the answer.

had my acer for about 18 months now and its super duper!

sounds like a good swap to me

Not my recommendation but if she likes a keypad and fancies a tablet then google this:

ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Tablet PC with Docking Station
