Help choosing a Laptop for housebound Mother in law who just wants to shop on-line

Saveit

My Mother in law is desperate to do her shopping on-line and needs a basic laptop to allow her to order at her leisure her weekly shopping. She has asked my advice and quite honestly don't know what to advise.
She will also need a broadband provider any ideas on the cheapest around?
Thanks

BT's cheapest package is now just £17.99 - it has a 2GB limit (although there are no penalties for breaching it*) and they will give you a wireless router for £25.

If you want any advice on setting up wireless broadband feel free to ask

if you go wireless then the staples one is better as it is wireless enabled
