I'm looking at getting a cheap laptop for my mums 60th Birthday present. Doesn't have to be anything special but I want everything as simple as possible for her so must have:
  • A built in webcam for skype video calls
  • SD card reader for her digital camera
  • Decent screen size say 15 inches and as it will stay in the house so battery life and portability not an issue.
  • Preferably with new Windows 7 installed.

Any suggestions grateful please. I'm hoping to spend less than £300.

    Argos it probably your best bet. or look in the bigger supermarkets they do good deals.

    99% of new laptops will have all of the things you need so there really isn't much choosing required. Just grab the cheapest one.
    It only takes a second to say 'Thanks, you just saved me a few quid!'

    Samsung R519 from Argos Clearance for £319.99 fits your criteria. Should arrive in new condition.

    Might be worthwhile looking on the techie board.
    When dealing with the CSA its important to note that it is commonly accepted as unfit for purpose, and by default this also means the staff are unfit for purpose.

    I'd say you can never go wrong with Asus or MSI brand.
