Cheapish laptop help please

Hi all

My Dad wants to buy my Mum a new laptop for Christmas and I have been tasked with finding one.

Does this look half decent? http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.210-6150.aspx

All it is used for is surfing, emails, storing photo's and those 'find an item' games things from big fish:o. The only thing I think is a must is a built in card reader. £300-400 price ish. They all seem to have 2GB memory, 250 HD, 15.6 screen, processors mean nothing to me :o

Also, it would be much easier for me and them if it comes from a big shop so returns/problems can be sorted easily eg tesco, argos, comet etc. Also a well known brand that they might have heard of would be good :D

Any suggestions (or if the one linked to looks ok) would be much much appreciated.

TIA xxx

    That looks ok to me but £329 seems a bit much for what it is - my Dell netbook was less than that despite having some advanced specifications.

    I think Dell are on Quidco as well, so it would be more :money: to look through the sites on there and see if any appeal.

  • This is getting rave reviews on HDUK and cheaper via Quidco
