I want a Latop but need advice on what i should be looking for - needs to be cheap!My husband has said i can have a laptop for xmas as my PC is on its way out , ive had a look but im unsure as to what i should be going for.
I do usual web browsing , i write the odd document and i love looking at my pictures from my digital camera and phone.
What memory etc should i be looking for, id ideally like a CDRW and i would prefer it to have built in wireless although ido have the adaptor card or a usb stick i can use if i needed to.
oh and needs a minimum 15.4inch screen as i cant read the smaller ones very well.
maximum price would be £300 although id prefer it to be a lot less if i can

You want a laptop with about 2GB Ram, a dual core processor if possible, minimum 60gb hard drive too.
Good luck
