The Dell spec. is better than the toshiba.

Although at the same price you can get a desktop with an even better spec.

The Dell:
Order it via Quidco for 4.5% back on the basic (pre VAT & Delivery) price.
Upgrade the battery for £11.75 - lasts longer when not on mains.
I would also get the XP Home backup media for £5.88
Don't get any of the other upgrades - or check here first!

If she wants Microsoft Office - get the student edition from Amazon £93

- or she may prefer Open Office - Free and MS compatible!
