Any shop selling a Samsung product I would have thought (Netbooks ?)
Also take your passport for offshore sales.
Plenty in TCR, London

If you are just after web surfing, email & photo storage then linux will probably be better than windows. You will probably get Firefox for browsing which pretty much beats IE in almost every respect. Most people probably use webmail these days, but Thunderbird replaces Outlook Express in the same manner. Linux works well on low spec laptops as it chews far fewer resources than windows. Unless you need to run windows specific apps such as some games or MS office then you will be fine.

I'd get the Thinkpad X200 - good but not cheap.
Or perhaps an Ideapad S Series Netbook if portability was my main aim.
