Budget laptop specifications

RaiderHammer

Hi any help from anyone would be much appreciated.

I am after a budget laptop for my girlfriend just for surfing the internet really and storing photographs and uploading them to social websites.

What sort of specification should I be aiming for?

Processor?
Processor speed?
RAM?
Cache?
Graphics card?
Hard drive?

Need wifi and a screen size of around 14 inch would be good.

Any idea on price?

Thanks.

I'd look at what they've got here:-

especially the fujitsu lifebooks around £160-ish.....they'll do what you want without breaking the bank

Won't this make them dearer? Latest software is not really required.

If your alternative is having to use the final copy of Vista ever sold (I'm exaggerating - but not by much!) then you would be well advised to go for Windows 7 ! :j:T
