I am looking to buy a laptop for my mother, the one she has has died a death (boo Sony Vaio)
I'd quite like to get a DELL laptop as all the previous dell's I've had have been good.
Things she uses it for:
Any suggestions? I'd get her an iPad, but I can't face the hours of "how do I do this??" - she knows how to use Windows (most of the time :eek:)
I'd quite like to get a DELL laptop as all the previous dell's I've had have been good.
Things she uses it for:
- Browsing the web
- Occasionally may upload a few photographs (not talking huge Gb here!)
- Browsing the web
- oh and Browsing the web
- Only uses it in the house
- Would prefer a 15" or 17" screen
- weight and size not an issue
- Wants it to be quick (so I'm assuming I need a decent processor - can anyone reccommend one? and 4Gb RAM?)

For what she needs, a fast processor isn't an issue and you don't need more than 2GB of RAM either. Pretty much anything on the market that doesn't have a Celeron CPU will more than suffice.0
